Cyperus helferi

Cyperus helferi is an aquatic plant that has gained popularity among planted aquarium enthusiasts. Its long, grass-like leaves are more broad than hairgrasses. This plant can be trimmed to appropriate height in smaller aquariums and it is an excellent plant for the midground or background of the aquarium. It can be grown emersed or submersed, so it is also an excellent plant for terrariums and paludariums.
