Step into the world of aquascaping excellence with Micro Sword, your aquarium's next foreground sensation! This versatile plant is not just an accessory; it's a green carpet that adds a touch of sophistication to any tank. To unveil its true beauty, provide it with the perfect ambiance—medium light is the secret sauce.

Appearance:

  • Miniature meadows: True to its name, the Micro Sword boasts tiny, sword-like leaves that resemble blades of grass. These miniature leaves, typically around 1 inch long, grow in dense clumps, forming lush green carpets that evoke serene meadows underwater.

  • Foreground charm: This low-growing plant thrives in the foreground of your aquascape, creating a natural transition between the substrate and taller plants. Its fine texture adds a touch of delicate detail to the underwater panorama.

  • Spreading beauty: Over time, the Micro Sword spreads gracefully through runners, gradually expanding its verdant carpet. This creeping growth allows you to create captivating patterns and textures in your aquascape.

Adaptability and Care:

  • Undemanding friend: The Micro Sword is a true friend to beginner aquascapers! It thrives in a wide range of water conditions, tolerating temperatures between 68-82°F (20-28°C) and moderate to high lighting.

  • Fast grower: This charming plant spreads quickly, readily forming dense carpets. Regular trimming is crucial to maintain its desired shape and prevent it from overtaking other plants.

  • Nutrient needs: While not high-maintenance, the Micro Sword benefits from occasional fertilization with root tabs or comprehensive plant nutrients to maintain its vibrant green hue and optimal growth.

Benefits:

  • Visual appeal: The lush green carpet of the Micro Sword adds a touch of natural serenity and delicate detail to any aquascape. It creates a stunning contrast with colorful fish and hardscapes.

  • Hiding haven: The dense carpet provides excellent hiding places and security for fish fry, shrimp, and other small aquatic creatures, making them feel safe and comfortable.

  • Water purifier: This plant helps absorb excess nutrients from the water, preventing algae growth and maintaining good water quality for a healthy aquatic ecosystem.

  • Shrimp paradise: The fine texture of the Micro Sword creates a foraging haven for shrimp, allowing them to graze on biofilm and microorganisms nestled among the leaves.
