- 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.

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.
Can’t seem to get it to take in my tank. Not sure if it’s something on my end, or shipping in winter, but they have melted back completely within a couple weeks twice. Customer service has been amazing helping me, shipping was fast, price is fair, would be 5 stars if the plants worked out!
I was like ok I want some little grass up front and boy howdy did it make the foreground Pop harder. I’ll buy some more of this in the future. Really like this stuff came in great shape too. Give it root tabs and easy green juice
Dwarf Chain Sword
These came twice as tall as I expected but I and my fish love them. I don't have anything fancy and I'm definitely not a scaper. I just really wanted plants for a more natural look and to help with nitrites and nitrates. I'm also not good with plants. I do need to trim up some of these because some do have yellow tips. Can someone please tell me the best way I should trim off the yellow and brown tips. How far down should I trim them? I do want to keep the height. My large Cory will pluck up any plants so I left these in the pots.
Arrived a day after receiving shipping confirmation and was packed with great care. Bit concerned as the holding bag was showing signs of discoloration and the plant looked like it was melting. Looks a lot better after I got it out of the pot and planted into the tank so will keep fingers crossed that it bounces back well.
