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.
Customer Reviews
Was in good shape and spreads rapidly. It looks great once it starts growing. My only complaint is it is very hard to plant, wants to float worse than most plants. So I recommend planting before filling your tank.
Plants arrived in very great shape, packed very carefully with heat packs. Plants are doing very well in my tank. Highly recommended.
I love seeing how it has rooted in my gravel and spread over the last few months.
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!
