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.

100% Free of Pests

Tissue culture plants are "lab-grown" at the farms by taking a tissue sample from an existing plant and growing it in a sterile nutrient medium. While tissue culture plants tend to be smaller and more expensive than potted plants, they are 100% free of snails, algae, and duckweed.

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.

Cups Protect Plants in Shipping

Tissue culture plants have been optimized for long term storage. From the day that they are cultured, these plants  are designed to stay in cups for months. This makes them especially forgiving during transit when they are in a box on their way to your home.

Fast growing plant that sends out runners everywhere!

plants arrived very quickly and healthy, it came with multiple little plants, one had a small runner with it but the others were just single plants. this thing settled in very nicely and now it has exploded and looks like it may take over the tank lol! runners grow quick with proper nutrition light and co2. its a fun little plant that can really take up some space if you're trying to fill in some areas.

Great

Nice amount in the cup. Looks great and already new growth just over a week. I added another review here but it should have been for a different plant. Both are great tho.

Good

Looks cool and different. Survived shipping to Fl way better than others in my order. I’m very pleased with the look and health of the plants. Nice size portions in each cup with beautiful little roots

Pretty foreground plant

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.

Cute Little Runner

This is a cute little runner plant that you will initially need to use weights on. The culture I received had 8 sprouts on it and I had a really rough time getting it to set, until I used titanium fishing weights to keep it submerged. It has a great look and color to it and I love where I have placed it in the middle-ground area of my breeding tank. Kind of hard to see it behind the dwarf baby tears until it grows a little more. Once I find another place where this one can be used, I would gladly purchase another.

Just brown mush

I ordered four tissue cultures of various plants. All looked good except for the Helanthium Bolivianum 'Quadricostatus'. It was mostly brown mush. I planted the few parts that still seemed to be alive, but they have now almost totally melted away and it isn't clear if anything will come back.

Peanut (Walsh, CO, US)

Got it about 4 weeks ago. Could plant only about a quarter of a really good looking plant, ran out of space. Put it into my shrimp tank and they just love it so much I can't even take it out anymore. I don't want to stress them!
So I buy a new one for the sake of my reds.

Great addition

This is a great plant addition to my 75 g. Pretty easy grow

I live in Hawaii, so plant shipments can be a problem even when the vendor gets them packed properly and in route the next day. The tissue culture arrived in great shape, and I'll likely stick to ordering tissue cultures or bulbs from the Coop.

Great and fast growing

The culture came in great condition, and is already the fastest growing plant in my new aquarium. It’s growing almost concerningly fast I may have to trim it often.

Helanthium Bolivianum 'Quadricostatus' Tissue Culture

Fast shipping, good size specimen, more than what I needed. Now thriving in 2 tanks. Always good service and products from Aquarium Co-Op

I have had mostly zero luck with carpeting plants. I watched a live stream where this plant was highlighted. I bought two and they are both doing great and spreading. If they continue to thrive in the tank they are in I’ll buy more for another tank.

Nice purchase

My order arrived with the culture cup opened, but the plant was still in good condition. This wasn’t my first order from Aquarium Co-op and won’t be my last. Great company with fast shipping.

Lovely little plant!

I purchased this based on a recommendation from the Co-Op customer service. I was looking for a grass-like carpeting plant with a different leaf variety than micro sword. My package arrived early, all of the plants were healthy and well packaged, and this quadricostatus has already shown growth in the week it’s been in my tank!

Helanthium tissue culture

First tissue culture plant I have ordered from the co-op. Came in looking amazing, easy to rinse and plant, so far looking good in tank. I will try to comment at a later date and describe growth, but as of now it’s A plus and I look forward to buying more tissue culture from Cory and the co-op!

Good plant

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.
