Description

Cyperus helferi is a beautiful, grass-like aquatic plant that adds a sense of movement and elegance to freshwater aquariums. Native to Thailand, this plant is one of the few Cyperus species that can thrive fully submerged, making it a popular choice for aquascaping, especially in nature-style and biotope tanks.

Key Features:

  • Elegant, Grass-Like Foliage: Long, narrow, ribbon-like leaves that sway gracefully with the water’s current, creating a natural, flowing effect.
  • Ideal for Background & Midground: With a height of 10-20 inches (25-50 cm), it works well as a background plant in large tanks or a striking focal point in smaller setups.
  • Moderate Growth Rate: Grows at a steady pace under optimal conditions, producing new shoots from its base.
  • Light & Care: Requires moderate to high lighting and CO₂ supplementation for optimal growth, though it can adapt to lower-tech setups with proper care. Prefers a nutrient-rich substrate.

Uses in Aquascaping:

  • Background plant in larger aquariums, adding height and texture.
  • Midground accent in nature-style tanks, enhancing depth and contrast.
  • Ideal for planted tanks with gentle water flow, where its leaves can sway naturally.
