ADA Cyperus helferi

ADA Cyperus helferi (High Tech)

ADA Cyperus helferi  is found submersed as well as emersed in Thailand, in stagnant and slow-flowing waters.

This ADA Cyperus helferi species is not very difficult in cultivation, given that it survives it rather long adaptation period. It grows best under lots of light (0.5 – 1 watt per litre). There is no need to fertilise with CO2, however, if CO2 is added it enhances growth significantly. This plant likes its water on the cooler side, thus a temperature of 26 °C should not be exceeded for optimal growth. A good supply of nitrate, phosphate, potassium and micronutrients enhance growth and further a healthy look.

• Grasslike high-growing rosette plant
• Elegant appearance
• Slow growth
