Description
The Dwarf arrowhead stays lower than the "standard" form of Sagittaria subulata when it is grown under the same conditions. It is very well suited as grass-like ground cover, moreover it is robust and undemanding. Sagittaria subulata "Pusilla" can also be used in aquariums without CO2 supply and with hard, slightly alkaline water.
Under the names "Sagittaria pusilla" or "Sagittaria subulata var. pusilla" an arrowhead is sold that is said to develop a lower growth habit than the "normal" form of Sagittaria subulata when it is grown in the same conditions. The overall height of S. subulata forms depends very much on the conditions they are cultivated in (please see the entry for Sagittaria subulata). There is indeed a Sagittaria form which stays reliably low under the same conditions, but this plant is rarely cultivated. However, at least in part the "Sagittaria pusilla" plants may get 30 cm or more.

Im Grunde gibt es an der Pflanze nichts auszusetzen, (kräftig und gesund) außer am Preis. Für 5,90 Euro dürfte der Topf üppiger sein.
Diese Pflanze dient mir in meinem neuen Wohnzimmerbecken als Bodendecker. Ich bin von der Optik (sattes Grün) begeistert und hoffe es bleibt auch weiterhin im Aquarium so. (read more)
In dem Töpfchen war eine sehr große Portion der Sagittaria subulata "Pusilla". Sie wächst sehr gut in meinem 30 l Cube.
