Care Tips: Sagittaria Pusillus, also known as the small arrowhead or pygmy arrowhead, is a compact and slow-growing aquatic plant perfect for the foreground of aquariums. It features small, arrow-shaped leaves and has a subtle, delicate appearance. This plant thrives in low to medium lighting conditions, making it suitable for both high-tech and low-tech aquariums. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5) and grows best in temperatures ranging from 22–28°C. Sagittaria Pusillus has a medium growth rate, which makes it a great choice for aquascapers looking for a plant that won't take over the aquarium but still provides a lush, green appearance. It does well in nutrient-rich substrates, though it will also grow in less fertile setups. Regular trimming is recommended to maintain its small, compact form and encourage healthy growth. CO2 supplementation and occasional fertilization will promote optimal growth. This plant can be used to create a soft, grassy foreground that pairs well with other low-growing aquatic plants.
