Echinodorus tenellus ‘Pygmy Chain Sword’ Tissue Culture Aquarium Plant
This is the smallest of the Chain Sword varieties, and a very attractive aquarium plant. Fast growing, it sends out runners and spreads quickly. Eventually it will create a beautiful lawn-like effect. The Pygmy Chain Sword has delicate roots so, in order to protect them, it is best planted in fine gravel or sand 
 

CO2 Requirement:
Medium to High. Benefits significantly from CO2 supplementation, promoting denser growth and richer coloration.
Light Requirements:
High. Requires strong lighting to maintain its compact, carpeting growth form and vibrant color.
Placement in Aquarium:
Foreground. Perfect for creating a lush, carpet-like effect in the front of the aquarium due to its small size and spreading growth habit.
Height:
2-5 cm. Remains low to the ground, making it an ideal foreground carpeting plant.
Width:
Can spread widely, covering the substrate with a dense carpet, especially in well-lit and well-fertilized conditions.
 
 
Type of Growing:
Creeping. Spreads via runners, creating a dense, carpet-like mat over the substrate. Requires trimming to maintain a neat appearance.
 
 
TISSUE CULTURE EXPLAINED
Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation.
HOW ARE THEY GROWN?
All our tissue culture plants are grown under strict sterile conditions ensuring they are free from all pests, pathogens and algae.
 
 
HOW TO PLANT YOUR NEW PLANTS?
Tissue cultured plants are just like any other plants with one exception they come in a pot and you need to gently was off the nutrient rich agar jelly and portion the plants out as you desire ready for planting.
 
 
SIZING
