Dwarf Sagittaria Broadleaf Live Aquarium Plant – Sagittaria subulata

Dwarf Sagittaria (Broadleaf), Sagittaria subulata, is a live freshwater aquarium plant valued for its broad, grass-like green leaves and natural spreading growth. It forms runners that gradually create a lush foreground or low-midground carpet in planted aquariums.

This adaptable aquatic plant is suitable for beginner and experienced aquarists and works well in freshwater community, shrimp, nano, low-tech, and high-tech aquariums. It has a moderate to fast growth rate and can develop a shorter or taller appearance depending on lighting conditions.

Dwarf Sagittaria can grow under low to moderate lighting, while stronger lighting may encourage denser spreading. CO₂ is optional. Stable freshwater conditions and a suitable aquarium substrate support healthy runner development.

Plant Selection Notice:
These will be a plant of our choice, selected based on current availability, size, and overall health to ensure the best quality upon arrival. Live plants naturally vary in size, shape, and density.

Plant Condition Disclosure:
Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:
You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
