Cyperus helferi is the first Cyperus
species to prove truly ideal for the aquarium. Discovered by Holger Windeløv
of Tropica Aqurium Plants, Denmark, during an expedition to the Southern part
of Thailand South of Ranong, the plant inhabited a small, clear-water stream,
being present both inthe current itself and along the more placid margin.
It is very graceful as a solitary plant as well as in groups. CO enrichment enhances the growth significantly
but in hard water it is liable to develop algae on the oldest leaves. Check
