VIEW POLICY

Helanthium Tenellum was previously known as Echinodorus Tenellus for many years. However, the chain sword group was moved to the genus Helanthium. The Dwarf Chain Sword Narrow Leaf or Pygmy Chain Sword. Grass-like, compact, narrow leaves make it an excellent foreground plant for fish tanks and aquariums. Under a strong light environment, it will turn reddish-green in color and easily be propagated through runners.

  • Sold as small Bare-root plants.

      This plant arrived well packaged and healthy, displaying great color and healthy roots. I was actually not expecting as large a portion as I received so was very happy. I will be buying plants from Aquarium Plants Factory when I need them due to great prices and having received great plants.
