Potted Plant – Eleocharis Vivipara
Eleocharis vivipara is a tall and graceful hairgrass species that brings vertical movement and elegance to aquascapes. Its long, fine, grass-like blades can reach impressive heights, swaying gently in the current and creating a natural, meadow-like look underwater.
