Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis Parvula)
$9.99
Eleocharis Parvula, or commonly known as Dwarf Hairgrass, is a green foreground plant that is surprisingly hardy and therefore easy to keep. This species is widespread across the globe ranging from North and South America, to Europe and Asia. This grass-like plant does not require co2 injection and it grows best with medium to high lighting. If the right lighting is provided it will spread and quickly form a compact carpet in the front of your aquarium.
Provides great shelter for shrimp and small bottom feeders.
Common Name: Dwarf Hairgrass, Eleocharis Parvula
Dwarf Hairgrass is a popular and easy-to-use foreground plant that can produce a grass-like lawn or carpet. This plant is really like an aquatic grass, with thin stalks growing from roots that spread horizontally by sending our runners.
High lighting and Co2 injection are not always necessary to grow dwarf hairgrass but they will definitely increase the growth speed and thickness of the foreground. This plant can grow submerged or emersed in dry start aquariums and Wabi Kusa. Simply separate larger mats into small portions and plant each an inch or so apart halfway into the substrate. After several weeks, the plant will send our runners all around and a lush foreground of grass can be created.
