Dwarf sag is a very easy and undemanding plant, making it great
for beginners. A very nice grass-like carpet can be formed at
the bottom of the tank, as this plant spreads very easily. If
you want a shorter plant, just cut the leaves, and if you want a
taller plant, let the leaves grow. Root tabs are recommended, as
they will boost growth and cause a more vibrant green color in
the plant. One plant can create a very nice carpet in a couple
of months if kept in optimal conditions.
