Description:

Helanthium tenellum is a grass-like aquatic plant that forms a dense carpet in aquariums. It spreads by lateral runners and thrives under medium to high light conditions. This plant is easy to moderate in care and can turn reddish-green under strong lighting. It is native to the eastern United States and parts of Central and South America. Helanthium tenellum is ideal for the foreground of aquariums, providing a lush, green carpet effect. It requires a nutrient-dense substrate and benefits from CO2 supplementation for optimal growth.
