Sagittaria Subulata (Dwarf Sagittaria)
Sagittaria Subulata, commonly known as Dwarf Sag, is one of the easiest and most versatile aquarium plants for creating a natural carpet or midground layout. Its grass-like leaves spread quickly through runners, forming dense, lush coverage across the substrate. For a full carpet effect, we recommend planting 5–10 individual plants spaced across your substrate.
This hardy plant thrives in a wide range of conditions and is perfect for both beginners and experienced aquascapers.
Tissue cultured plants are grown in sterile conditions, making them pest-free, algae-free, and ideal for shrimp tanks.

Pro Tip
For a dense carpet, plant small portions spaced apart—runners will fill in the gaps quickly. Most customers buy 5–10 plants for full carpet coverage.
BACKED BY THE SHRIMP FARM'S LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE!
Sagittaria subulata from South America is an ideal, undemanding foreground plant whose short runners form a compact group. Place individual plants 2-4 cm apart. This plant may cause problems because in certain conditions it suddenly grows to a height of 50 cm when it grows older. But if it is then moved into the background it may become low again. In the aquarium it sometimes sends a long flower stem to the surface, and small white flowers unfold just above the water surface.
