Eleocharis acicularis ‘Dwarf Hair Grass’ - Immersed Grown Net Pot

CO2 Requirement:

Medium. CO2 supplementation is beneficial for promoting faster growth and a healthier carpet, but it can grow well even in non-CO2 supplemented tanks.

Light Requirements:

High. Requires strong lighting to ensure dense growth and prevent algae from forming within the carpet.

Placement in Aquarium:

Foreground. Ideal for creating a natural, grassy carpet at the front of the aquarium. Its fine leaves provide a delicate texture.

Height:

2-6 cm. Typically stays short, especially with regular trimming, which encourages horizontal growth and denser carpet formation.

Width:

Can spread indefinitely with proper care, covering the aquarium floor with a lush, green carpet.

Type of Growing:

Creeping. Spreads horizontally via runners, forming a tight-knit, grass-like carpet. Regular maintenance is required to keep it trim and healthy.
