Sagittaria subulata 'Needle Leaf' is a fine-leaved form of Sagittaria subulata, with leaves only a few millimetres wide that set it apart from broader-leaved Sagittaria varieties. The narrow foliage gives tanks a soft, almost grass-like texture that stands out from typical rosette-forming plants.
This plant helps fill out a planted aquarium's rear area with upright, compact growth, creating a natural-looking screen behind other plants and ornaments. It suits freshwater setups kept by beginners as well as more experienced aquascapers, since it grows under moderate lighting and doesn't require extra CO2 dosing.
Under stronger light, the green foliage can take on subtle orange tones, adding some colour variation without changing its care needs. Its leaves generally reach 15 to 30 cm long, and it spreads by sending out runners.
What you get is a pack of three 1-2-Grow! cups of this plant. Because it propagates by trimming and replanting the runners it produces, one plant can be used to establish a larger patch over time.
