Sagittaria subulata or dwarf sag is a great plant for aquarists new to planted tanks. It is relatively undemanding and will spread easily to form an eye-catching, grass-like carpet. It tends to stay shorter in brighter lighting but can grow quite tall in lower lighting.
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
How We Grow and Store Our Plants
We store all of our plants in aquariums with plenty of light and fertilizer to start converting their leaves. This picture is from our warehouse. Not all vendors store their plants in water; many store them out of water in bags straight from the farms. This is more time without light and doesn't give them a head start in growing underwater leaves.
These guys looked great upon arrival, but I'm glad I bought the plant weights in the same order, because they want to float! They are transitioning well, but the Buenos Aires tetras are nibbling on the new growth.

For some reason this shipment of a bunch of plants looked sickly. Last time I ordered they were perfect. I think something happened in shipping. I do not beleive it to be co ops fault. Hopefully they all come back in the water with easy green.

One of several plants...
I had 2 orders in February to plant in a new setup. Look at this now! I especially love the Tiger Lotus Bulb. The leaves came off in shipping, but right away began to sprout. I can't believe it's less than 2 months! My amano shrimp are sure happy!

Already spreading
Like most aquarium plants introduced to a new environment, many of the leaves it arrived with have melted away and been replaced with new growth. To my surprise, one of my dwarf sag. has already sent out a runner, with a new plant beginning to grow. It’s been less than two weeks since they arrived.

Great shipping, arrived looking great... nice and healthy plants. They never melted and are growing like weeds... pun intended.
