Tropica Potted Sagittaria subulata Plant

Tropica Pots are brimming with plants and have lots of mass and healthy, well-developed roots. Most pots can be divided into several portions or individual plants which are planted separately.

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.
