An excellent beginner plant!
This variety of the popular Sagittaria subulata(Sagittaria platyphylla) has broad 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.
Broadleaf 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 will grow to cover your substrate like a thick carpet.
Their broad tolerance for aquarium conditions makes them an absolute favorite for aquarists across skill levels. No special lighting, water parameters or co2 needed!
One order is for one 3"+ tall rosette/ Node ; and varies in it's 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! 💚
