Sagittaria subulata (Dwarf Sag) is a popular, hardy foreground plant known for its grass-like appearance and ease of care. Native to the Americas, it features slender, sword-shaped green leaves that form compact rosettes, making it ideal for carpeting in freshwater aquariums.

This versatile plant adapts well to a range of water conditions and can thrive in both low- and high-tech setups. While it grows faster with moderate to high lighting and a nutrient-rich substrate, CO₂ supplementation is optional. Given the right conditions, S. subulata spreads quickly via runners, creating a lush, vibrant foreground or midground cover.

Its low profile makes it especially suited to nano tanks and minimalist aquascapes, but it’s equally at home in jungle-style layouts. In some setups, the leaves may grow taller, giving it flexibility to also serve in the midground.

Key Features:

  • Scientific Name: Sagittaria subulata

  • Common Name: Dwarf Sag

  • Lighting: Low to medium (high light encourages compact growth)

  • Growth Rate: Fast

  • Placement: Foreground to midground

  • Care Level: Easy

  • Propagation: Via runners

  • CO₂: Optional (helps with denser growth)

  • Ideal for: Carpeting, natural aquascapes, beginner-friendly tanks


Sagittaria subulata is an excellent choice for aquascapers seeking a low-maintenance yet visually impactful plant that quickly fills out space and adds natural flow to their layout.
