Eleocharis parvula – Tropica Pot

Eleocharis parvula, also known as Dwarf Hairgrass, is a popular aquarium plant prized for its fine, grass-like appearance and ability to form lush carpets in the aquarium. With its slender green stems and delicate leaves, this plant creates a natural and vibrant look in the aquascape. Typically growing to a height of 3-7 cm, Dwarf Hairgrass is ideal for foreground planting, where it can spread and form dense mats. It thrives in soft to moderately hard water and prefers bright, direct lighting to promote healthy growth. Regular trimming helps maintain its carpet-like appearance, and it can be propagated by dividing its clumps or by planting individual runners. With proper care, Eleocharis parvula adds texture and depth to the aquarium while providing a natural habitat for small fish and shrimp.
