Helanthium ‘Quadricostatus’ Tissue Culture – Compact, Hardy Foreground Plant
Helanthium ‘Quadricostatus’ is a low-growing, hardy aquarium plant with bright green leaves that form a lush foreground or low midground coverage. The tissue culture version guarantees a pest-free, algae-free, and snail-free start, making it perfect for shrimp tanks, nano aquariums, and high-quality planted setups.
Native to Central and South America, Helanthium ‘Quadricostatus’ naturally grows in shallow streams and riverbanks. In aquariums, it spreads horizontally to form dense green patches, ideal for creating a natural foreground carpet or low midground area.
Lighting: Medium to high light encourages compact, healthy growth.
CO₂ & Nutrients: Benefits from CO₂ injection and nutrient-rich substrate for optimal density and color.
Placement: Ideal for foreground or low midground; plant in small clusters for spreading.
Water Conditions: Thrives in 68–82°F (20–28°C), pH 6.0–7.5, soft to moderately hard water.
Maintenance: Trim older leaves occasionally to promote dense, uniform growth.
Completely pest-, algae-, and snail-free, perfect for sensitive tanks.
Lab-grown under sterile conditions for maximum plant health.
Ships in sealed nutrient gel cups — rinse and plant directly.
No quarantine needed before introduction to the aquarium.
Creates dense, low-lying foreground coverage.
Hardy and beginner-friendly, suitable for most freshwater setups.
Shrimp-safe and adds natural texture to aquascapes.
Enhances visual depth and aesthetics in planted tanks.
