Echinodorus tennelus stem plant
Echinodorus tenellus, also known as Pygmy Chain Sword, is a popular aquarium plant prized for its low-growing, grass-like appearance.
Originating from North and South America, it's commonly found in marshes, bogs, and along the edges of slow-moving streams.
Characterized by thin, linear leaves that form dense mats, it creates a carpeting effect in aquariums.
Thrives in moderate to high light and prefers nutrient-rich substrate for optimal growth.
Care involves maintaining moderate to high light levels, nutrient-rich substrate, and regular fertilization to promote healthy growth.
Additionally, occasional trimming of older or damaged leaves helps maintain its appearance.
Propagation is typically done by runners, where new plants develop from the parent plant, allowing for easy expansion of the carpet.
