Description
The Dwarf arrowhead stays lower than the "standard" form of Sagittaria subulata when it is grown under the same conditions. With lavish nutrient and CO2 supply, it reached a height of about 15 cm in our aquariums, otherwise it should remain lower in most cases. It is very well suited as a grass-like, undemanding ground cover, also in "low tech" tanks without additional CO2.
Sagittaria subulata "Pusilla" grows most luxuriant in nutrient-rich substrate and with CO2 addition, the light demand is moderate. However strong lighting, moderate nutrient supply and rather low CO2 concentration contribute to low growth. The plant also tolerates hard, slightly alkaline water. The optimum temperatures are 18 to 28 °C; temperatures below 10 and up to 30 °C are tolerated. For planting, single plants with some space to each other are spread over the provided area. With time, they grow together with their underground runners. Too lush stands should be thinned out, also a deep trim close to the bottom surface is possible.
In the foreground of warm and cold water aquariums, Sagittaria subulata "Pusilla" is a robust ground cover. With its low demands, it is recommended for aquarium beginners and for the initial planting of new tanks. It is also interesting for North America-themed biotope tanks. Occasionally its floating inflorescences with nice white flowers may appear at the water surface.
Under the names "Sagittaria pusilla" or "Sagittaria subulata var. pusilla" an arrowhead is sold that is said to develop a lower growth habit than the "normal" form of Sagittaria subulata when it is grown in the same conditions. The overall height of S. subulata forms depends very much on the conditions they are cultivated in (please see the entry for Sagittaria subulata). There is indeed a Sagittaria form which stays reliably low under the same conditions, but this plant is rarely cultivated. However, at least in part the "Sagittaria pusilla" plants may get 30 cm or more.

Hardly any yellow leaves; nicely filled cup. The base was already divided into portions for planting, which made the remaining work considerably easier. (read more)

Sehr gute Qualität
Kaum gelbe Blätter; schön gefüllter Cup. Die Basis war bereits in Portionen zum einpflanzen unterteilt, so dass die weitere Arbeit erheblich erleichtert wurde. Gut, es ist jetzt keine sehr anspruchsvolle Pflanze, aber trotzdem Top Qualität... Hätte eigentlich 6 Sterne verdient!
Nice strong plants and fast delivery ???? As always very satisfied ????

Actually one pot would have been enough for me for a small tank, but it wasn't available so I had to take a large in vitro cup. (read more)

Riesige Menge
Eigentlich hätte mir für ein kleines Becken ein Topf gereicht, war aber nicht erhältlich also musste ich einen großen InVitro Becher nehmen.
Das Nährgel war bereits völlig aufgebraucht, die Pflanzen aber in bestem Zustand. Die Menge an Einzelpflanzen ist enorm und sicher ausreichend für eine Fläche von 30 mal 30 Zentimetern, wenn nicht noch mehr. Ich habe nur ein Drittel eines 25l Beckens bepflanzt und vielleicht 30 Prozent des Bechers verbraucht.
