With proper care, it spreads by runners to form a lush, natural carpet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAppearance: Micro Sword has fine, bright green, grass-like leaves that grow in dense tufts. Its narrow blades create a soft, meadow-like appearance and gently sway with water movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAquarium Use: Ideal for foreground planting, Micro Sword is commonly used to create lush carpets in nature-style and Dutch-style aquascapes. It also provides excellent shelter for shrimp and small bottom-dwelling fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePropagation: Propagates through runners that spread across the substrate. Once established, new plantlets emerge along the runners and gradually fill in open areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: While Micro Sword can grow without CO2, providing CO2 and regular fertilization will significantly improve its growth rate, density, and overall appearance. Regular trimming helps maintain a low, uniform carpet and encourages the plant to spread more quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"z-0 flex min-h-[46px] justify-start\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mt-3 w-full empty:hidden has-[\u0026gt;_:empty]:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-center\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mastah Betta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54076629778732,"sku":null,"price":4.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8947\/4092\/files\/ChatGPTImageAug7_2026_03_01_36AM_ceb1ba23-26f8-4616-b07d-7f8eaf405d3c.png?v=1786107758","url":"https:\/\/mastahbetta.com\/products\/micro-sword-clearance","provider":"Mastah Betta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
