- Grass-like carpeting plant
- Easy to grow
- Spreads quickly
Dwarf chain sword or pygmy chain sword is one of the easiest carpeting plants. It grows to about 4 inches tall and has a grassy appearance. It thrives in medium lighting with lots of nutrients in the substrate and will fill in pretty quickly once it gets established.
Customer Reviews
This was my second order from Aquarium Coop and similar to last time most of the plants arrived in excellent condition. I couldn't quite give 5 stars because the crypt arrived nearly dead and the Valisneria was also in poor condition.
Two days after planting, the crypt was 90% melted and now a couple weeks later there are just a couple tiny roots/leaves barely hanging on. I think it will make a comeback but will take some time.
The Valisneria arrived damaged because the leaves were folded over in the packaging. I had to trim the top 2/3 off that had died but it seems to be surviving now and should hopefully grow.
I'm again pretty happy all around but if I could make one suggestion, taller plants really need a longer bag/box for shipping. The Amazon sword and Valisneria were both folded in half by the time they reached my house. The sword leaves still have creases and large brown dead spots and the Valisneria is basically cut down by 2/3 since the top portion wasn't salvageable.
Arrived in perfect packaging the plant looked to be in perfect condition and was easily planted. The Co-Op it one of the only places I can rely on for excellent quality plants that will survive transit and replanting.
As always- my plants came packaged well and looking so healthy! I love buying plants from Aquarium Co-op because I know they’ll be healthy when they arrive! And I also love the bonus stickers🐟🐠
Plants looked wilted upon arrival even with warming materials included. I live In New England, brought the plants right in but from being on the truck for a few hours they did not look too fresh.. Planted them and I'll see what happens
Happy with the quality and quantity received!
I run a low tech tank but wanted carpet grass up front. When this plant came it started to wilt but sprang back with root tabs and easy green fertilizer and its been a month and a half and what I started with has doubled. It is sending out runners and making more. It's really exciting for me plant wise. Im buying another to put on the other side of the tank in hopes they meet in the middle. I like this plant.
Looks great,Cory and crew.
Very happy with this plant. In a low tech tank, with root tabs and easy green. Lots of new shoots and thriving. Thank you
P. S. Will be doing another order soon for next tank.
Due to freezing temps the plant arrived in bad shape even though there was a heat pack. Lesson learned that I’ll only order plants when it’s above freezing.
The dwarf chain sword arrived in great condition and planted just fine. It had some melt, but it has already sent out a runner and is shaping up nicely.
