Cyperus Helferi - IC031
Cyperus Helferi - IC031
Cyperus helferi is a Southeast Asian plant that is particularly well-known in Thailand, where it grows both submerged and emersed, on the banks of standing water or in slow-moving water.
Long leaves of Cyperus helferi curve gracefully along the water column. Despite the fact that it is a "rosette" plant, it has a relatively limited root system. At the root of robust, well-stabilized specimens, several smaller plants are generated.
This aquatic plant can develop 50 long and narrow leaves from its center or rosette. Since it cannot endure the constant flow of water, the bush arcs. It has roots that are different from those of other rosette-style plants. The roots of Cyperus helferi have a poor growth pattern.
Cyperus helferi has a leaf width of 5-7 mm and can reach a height of 40 cm. It may be grown underwater, as a floater plant, or in a potted garden plant, making it more popular in the fishkeeping industry.
Care Tips
- Prefers a slow to medium water current when housed in an aquarium.
- Use ground fertilizer or clay soil under its roots for additional benefits.
Plant Format
Tissue Culture
Tissue culture plants are young aquatic plants that are developed in-vitro in aquatic plant propagation laboratories. This unique cultivation ensures these plants are devoid of undesired snails, algae, and pesticides, making them completely safe for even the most delicate fish and shrimp species.
We offer a diverse range of tissue cultured aquarium plant varieties. Our cultures provide substantial planting portions, and when combined with high-quality fertilizers and CO₂ injection will grow into healthy aquatic plants.
Just lower the root portion of the tissue culture's clump that needs to be planted directly into the soil until it is buried halfway into the aquatic soil.
