The Brazilian Micro Sword creates a low dense mat giving you a nice ‘lawn effect' in aquariums or ponds but needs strong lighting to thrive. The plant can be submerged to 60cm deep with clear water and strong light. The Brazilian Micro Sword does not need to be fully submerged; it can be planted in streams or spillways to create a beautiful effect. 

Pond Plants are always a great addition to any pond. They compete with the algae for nutrients which helps to keep the pond clean. Having multiple plants can be an effective way of filtering the water but you generally need to have half the water surface covered to have a noticeable change. This also depends on certain factors such as type of fish and location of the pond. As well as filtering the water, pond plants help to oxygenate the water during the day.  

Our Pond Plants can come in two main pot sizes, 140mm ($12.95) or 200mm ($20.00) pot. The 140mm pots are generally always in stock but the larger 200mm pots are not always available. Seasonal plants are not generally available during dormancy. Please check for availability
