Sagittaria platyphylla – loose

Description

Sagittaria platyphylla is a versatile and attractive aquatic plant that is perfect for adding structure and greenery to your aquarium. Known for its broad, arrowhead-shaped leaves, it creates a lush and natural look, whether planted in the foreground, midground, or background. The plant’s elongated, dark green leaves grow in dense clusters, providing excellent coverage while offering a contrast to finer-leaved plants. It is a fast-growing species, making it ideal for aquascapes looking for quick green coverage.

Under proper lighting and care, Sagittaria platyphylla can grow quickly and thrive, especially when provided with a nutrient-rich substrate and regular fertilization with both macro and micronutrients. While it can tolerate a range of light conditions, it will perform best with moderate to high lighting and will develop the most vibrant growth under CO₂ supplementation, although it can still grow without it.
