Dwarf Sag (Sagittaria Subulata 'Dwarf')

Description

Dwarf Sag (Sagittaria subulata 'Dwarf') is a classic carpeting plant for freshwater aquariums. Its bright green, ribbon-like leaves resemble mini blades of grass, making it a popular choice for foreground planting. It spreads by runners to form dense, low patches that give your tank a clean, natural look—without the fuss of high-maintenance ground covers.

Hardy and beginner-friendly, Dwarf Sag works well in both low-tech and high-tech setups, making it one of the most flexible carpet plants around.


Care and Planting Directions

Plant individual tufts a few inches apart in fine-grained substrate. Moderate light encourages spreading, while higher light may keep it shorter and more compact. CO₂ is optional but can boost growth and density. Trim occasionally to control height and encourage horizontal growth.
