Pygmy chain sword


This plant is the smallest species of the aquarium plant family. The Chain weapon is found throughout North, Central, and South America, particularly in southern Brazil and southeastern North America.

It is seldom found in running water, rather than being found commonly in wet sand on the shores of lakes and ponds or in inundated zones of rivers. The Chain weapon has linear leaves, virtually while not petioles (the stalk by that a leaf is connected to the stem).


With moderate lighting of a minimum of a pair of to three watts per gallon with full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs and a fine and wealthy substrate (thick sand or fine gravel), it'll thrive and unfold quickly. The Chain weapon can kinda thick "carpet" over the substrate, with its various runners. The Chain weapon will greatly take pleasure in a nutrient wealthy substrate still as carbonic acid gas supplementation.

Propagate the Chain weapon with runners that grow off of mature, healthy plants. once the "baby" is some the scale of the "parent", cut the roots and plant the "baby" by itself. The Chain weapon might sometimes turn out seeds that may be wont to propagate new plants, and therefore the Chain weapon will turn out extrinsic shoots to be used for propagation.
