Tropica Helanthium bolivianum 'Quadricostatus' CUP

Helanthium bolivianum 'Quadricostatus' or dwarf sword plant forms wonderful contrasts to dark plants and decorations! The rosette-growing plant thrives particularly densely between stones or roots. In good conditions, it forms runners, and it is generally characterized by a high degree of growth - with it, natural layouts can be quickly realized. In combination with fine feathery or delicately structured plants, backdrops look particularly varied. It reliably indicates missing micronutrients: If your leaves are light, it is time for regular additions!

• Light requirement: medium to intense
• Optimal temperature: 10 to 30°C
• Water values: very soft to very hard - very tolerant
• pH value: 5 to 7 - tolerant
• Addition of CO2 and nutrients: highly recommended
• Propagation: runners
• emersed growth: yes, but only straight leaves

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
