Cyperus helferi can reach a height of 20-35 cm when fully grown, with leaves varying in length and width, ranging up to 40 cm long and 5-7 mm wide. It forms dense clusters of foliage, providing visual appeal and a natural hiding place for small fish and invertebrates in the aquarium. Care should be taken when introducing Cyperus helferi to a new tank environment, as it may undergo a period of melting and acclimation. Proper care and maintenance of Cyperus helferi involve providing it with a relatively large amount of light and, in some cases, adding CO2 to promote optimal growth. It is recommended to plant this species in substrate, ensuring it has good water flow to allow the plant to sway beautifully in the current. The plant prefers a water temperature range of 72-82 degrees Fahrenheit and can be propagated by dividing the root ball. In summary, Cyperus helferi is a captivating aquatic plant species that adds a unique touch to aquascapes. It requires adequate lighting, CO2 supplementation, and proper water flow to thrive and contribute to the overall aesthetics and health of the aquarium.

EASYLIFE 25 ROOT STICKS
Optimal root feeding
The Easy-Life 25 Root Sticks are ideal to feed plants directly at the roots. The product contains 25 pieces of special clay sticks that are very nutritious and have a high iron content. Due to the special pre-treatment of these sticks, they do not fall apart immediately upon contact with water. The release of nutrients goes very gradually over a period of several weeks. The water will not get cloudy at all, so algae cannot take advantage of that. The product is very easy to use and causes no additional water pollution.
Use these root sticks for plants with a strong need for root nutrition such as Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus or Lotus. If the soil layer is very narrow or the plant roots are small, the sticks can be very easily broken into smaller pieces. The root sticks can therefore be used in all cases.
