The Eleocharis acicularis, commonly known as dwarf hairgrass, is a popular aquatic plant known for its grass-like appearance, which makes it an excellent choice for creating lush, carpeted aquascapes. Its thin, green blades add a natural look to any aquarium, and its ability to spread quickly under the right conditions makes it a favorite among aquascapers. The in-vitro version is grown in sterile conditions, ensuring a pest- and algae-free plant that’s ready for immediate use.
Key Features:
- Carpeting Plant: Eleocharis acicularis is ideal for creating a dense, grassy carpet in the foreground of your tank, offering a natural, soft look.
- Fast-Spreading: When provided with proper lighting and CO2, this plant grows and spreads quickly, covering large areas of the substrate.
- In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in a sterile environment, this in-vitro plant is free from algae, pests, and pathogens, ensuring a clean start for your aquarium.
- Versatile Aquascaping: Perfect for foreground planting and can also be used in nano tanks or as a transition plant between midground and foreground sections.
Care Requirements:
- Lighting: Eleocharis acicularis requires medium to high lighting to encourage compact and dense growth. High lighting helps the plant spread more quickly and develop a thicker carpet.
- CO2: Supplementing CO2 is recommended to achieve faster growth and a more robust carpet. CO2 helps the plant stay healthy and vibrant.
- Water Parameters: This plant thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.0-7.5. Temperatures between 18-28°C are ideal for optimal growth.
- Trimming: Regular trimming helps maintain a neat, even carpet and encourages the plant to spread horizontally. Trimmings can be removed to keep the carpet looking clean and tidy.
Planting Tips:
- Rinse the plant thoroughly to remove any nutrient gel before planting in your aquarium.
- Divide the plant into smaller clumps and plant them evenly across the substrate to promote even spreading.
- For best results, plant Eleocharis acicularis in a nutrient-rich substrate with good lighting and CO2 to encourage rapid growth and full coverage of the tank floor.
