Shipping depends on the selected variant, shipping group, and destination. Review the product shipping notice and final checkout charges. Specialty items do not qualify for standard free shipping.
Choose your size: 3x plants to try it first, or 10x/50x/100x plants for background coverage!
This variety of the popular Sagittaria subulata has long, strap-like leaves and a creeping habit. They won't need anything special in terms of lighting, filtration, or temperatures, and pretty much do just fine no matter what.
True Sag is a quick growing, low maintenance plant that provides excellent forage and shelter for baby shrimp and fish fry. It readily propagates itself like grass, and is best for the background in your aquascaping arrangements. They can grow up to 12"+ and the leaves are about a 1/4 inch wide.
Their broad tolerance for aquarium conditions makes them an absolute favorite for aquarists across skill levels. No special lighting, water parameters or CO2 needed!
Each order includes 4-8" tall rosettes/nodes and varies in its natural state.

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!
I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏
Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
