Native to North and South America, it is one of the easiest foreground plants to grow, spreading readily via runners to form a natural, flowing carpet without the demanding requirements of many other carpeting species.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foreground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCO₂:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not required, but accelerates growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18–28°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.0–7.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Tissue Culture?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eOur tissue culture plants are grown in sterile laboratory conditions, meaning they arrive:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eFree from pesticides and harmful chemicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eFree from snails, planarians, and pest algae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eFree from pathogens and parasites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003eNo rock wool to remove — just rinse and plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips for Success\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"color:#000000;\"\u003ePlant individual stems or small clumps spaced 1–2 cm apart directly into the substrate. Helanthium tenellum 'Broad' spreads quickly via runners and will fill in to form a lush foreground carpet. It adapts well to a wide range of lighting conditions, though higher light and CO₂ will produce faster, more compact growth. Trim occasionally to keep the carpet tidy and prevent older leaves from shading out new growth. An excellent choice for beginners and experienced aquascapers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AquaPlant Culture","offers":[{"title":"TC Helanthium tenellum 'Broad'","offer_id":43956154466369,"sku":"TC182","price":7.37,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/5957\/2545\/files\/tenellumbroad.jpg?v=1779866253","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaplantculture.com.au\/products\/tissue-culture-helanthium-tenellum-broad","provider":"AquaPlant Culture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
