Cyperus Helferi is an elegant aquatic plant that brings natural grass-like beauty to aquascapes. With its long, flowing leaves and graceful movement, this plant creates stunning natural effects that mimic underwater meadows.
Natural Grass-Like Appeal
- Long, narrow leaves create graceful flowing movement
- Grows 12-24 inches tall, perfect for backgrounds

Growing Conditions
This hardy plant adapts to a wide range of conditions but thrives in moderate to high lighting. CO2 supplementation enhances growth but isn't essential. Prefers slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0-7.5).
Planting and Placement
Plant in small groups in the background or midground areas. The long leaves create natural-looking clusters that sway beautifully in water flow. Space plants adequately to allow for natural spreading.
Aquascaping Applications
Perfect for creating natural meadow effects, especially in larger aquariums. Works excellently in biotope setups and nature-style aquascapes. The flowing leaves provide excellent contrast to broad-leafed plants.
Maintenance
Trim older, yellowing leaves at the base to encourage new growth. The plant may initially lose some leaves when first planted but will establish quickly with proper care.
Create natural underwater meadows with this graceful plant that brings movement and organic beauty to your aquatic landscape.
