- Carpeting plant
- Needle-like, grassy leaves
- Medium lighting
Micro sword is a grassy-looking plant which will eventually form a dense carpet if grown under medium to higher lighting. As it grows, it will send out runners along the substrate which will form new baby plants. Once it starts taking off, it can grow relatively quickly but usually does not get to be more than a few inches tall. Many aquarists keep this plant trimmed regularly to create a "lawn" effect.

Arrived happy and healthy , the pot was already stuffed full of runners ! Got a ton of plants for the price of one
As expected plants came Happy and Healthy as usual... I wont buy from anybody else.. Top Notch
I ordered this plant in the dead of winter during a cold snap (not a great strategic decision). The plant not only arrived alive, but it also looked happy and healthy. Not only that but the amount of plant exceeded all expectations; it is a very large cluster. It’s currently in quarantine and is doing really well. I’m very excited to get this plant set up in my tank. Will buy again!
This arrived in great shape during a cold snap. Having never worked with micro sword before, I didn’t realize how fragile the roots can be. Many of them broke, but the plant was healthy enough that after burying an easy green root tab and planting it, it’s growing more daughter plants in about two weeks. Great quality?
My Mirco Sword looked beautiful!, very happy!
I ordered 2 pots and there was so much in each. Hoping it fills in nice and is a good place for my shrimplets.
Bought these in September, and these are exactly what I'd hoped for. They didn't really melt, maybe they turned a little yellow at first. The main problem was they took a while to really anchor themselves. Now some have spread and somehow attached to a rock. The mystery snail still uproots some patches now and then, but no problem.
This little plant surprises me. Sometimes it takes off. Sometimes you think it didn't make it and a month later you see sprouts.
Great in all of my tanks. I even have some in a brackish.
Only gave it a 4 because it is NOT hairgrass. Never had any luck.
Multiple plants out of one
Love this stuff. A little hard to remove the Rockwood, but it grows amazing and quickly. Looks great and fish love it.
