Helanthium bolivianum 'Quadricostatus' is a cousin of the pygmy chain sword that is known for its vibrant, spring green color that contrasts well with darker plants and decor. This species has grass-like blades that form into a compact, bushy plant about 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) tall and 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) wide. Provide a nutrient-rich substrate (such as aquatic soil or a well-established, non-soil substrate) or plenty of root tabs for optimal growth.

Excellent, started growing and sending out runners within a couple days.
This plant did not melt and stayed in position after I planted it. It had one very bushy piece and many little ones that pop nicely.
Had a tiny bit of melting but settling and perking up just fine. Very nice and perky as it turns out.
Received full, healthy plant. Cut into several (10+) pcs and planted within a week. All doing well. Thanks!
Plants arrived in good shape.
Helanthium Bolivianum 'Quadricostatus' Tissue Culture
Came in healthy
Came fast, in great shape, is growing quickly
This was my first tissue culture plant, and it did not disappoint! I was expecting a much smaller portion, but as I pulled it out of the cup, it spiraled forever with runners. I planned on trying it in the front of one tank, but had to find homes for it in 3 others. Well worth the money!
Survived sipping over some of the hottest days of the year. Looks great as a ground cover.
