  • 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 will thrive if given medium to high lighting and will fill in pretty fast once it gets established.

Dwarf chain sword will self-propagate by sending out runners all across your aquarium substrate. The new baby plants can be trimmed off and replanted or left to grow out naturally.

Note: The leaves may experience melting when first planted. See the Directions section below on how to help them recover.

Fast growing with nutrient substrate and good lighting in low-tech tank

Came in a free, re-usable, insulated pouch without a heat pack to the east coast in March. The plants came with a mix of mostly emersed (broader and longer arrow shaped leaves) and some submerged (narrower and shorter leaves) growth. They also had emersed seed pod stems, which I trimmed off prior to planting. At least half of the pots had runners attached (free bonus plants!). The plants starting converting quickly, putting out new submerged leaves within a day or two and I've been gradually trimming the emersed leaves as they started melting or attracting algae. Some of the plants started to send out new runners within a week of planting. Would highly recommend as a low tech carpeting option as long as you have a nutrient-rich substrate and/or root tabs with decent lighting. Have not experienced any permanent melting/loss of the original plants thus far.

Fast growing plant

This plant arrived in great condition. I left it in the plastic just to sit in my tank until I figured out which one I was going to put it in I end up leaving for 4 days when I came back it's already sending runners out of new plants all over the place I've never seen a plant this nice grow so fast
