Description
Dwarf Hairgrass 'Mini' (Eleocharis parvula) is a popular carpeting plant prized for its fine, grass-like texture and shorter growth compared to regular hairgrass. This tissue culture cup offers a clean, pest-free start and establishes quickly under high light and CO₂. It spreads across the substrate to form a dense, green lawn that brings natural beauty and movement to the foreground of any aquascape.
Care and Planting Directions
Carefully rinse the gel off the plant and divide it into small clumps using tweezers. Plant each clump a few centimeters apart to encourage faster spreading. Dwarf Hairgrass ‘Mini’ thrives in fine-grain substrate, strong lighting, and supplemental CO₂. Regular trimming promotes thicker growth and prevents vertical shoots.
