Eleocharis parvula (Dwarf Hair Grass)
Introduction:
Eleocharis parvula, commonly known as Dwarf Hair Grass, is a compact and fine-leaved carpeting plant prized for its lawn-like appearance and fast-spreading nature. Native to temperate and tropical regions, this species is ideal for creating naturalistic, grass-like foregrounds in aquascapes. Its thin, arching blades form dense mats over time, offering a clean, flowing look. Supplied in tissue culture form, this Ready to Grow Dwarf Hair Grass is completely sterile—free from algae, snails, and other contaminants, making it perfect for healthy tank setups.
Care Requirements:
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 20–28 °C

Thrives with a nutrient-rich substrate and benefits greatly from CO₂ supplementation. Liquid fertilization supports lush, quick growth, especially under high light.
Tank Setup:
Ideal for the foreground. Requires moderate to high lighting for compact, horizontal spreading. Plant in small clumps to promote quicker coverage via runners. Works well in nano tanks and large layouts alike.
Care Tips:
Rinse off all tissue culture gel thoroughly before planting. Use tweezers to place small clusters evenly across the substrate. Trim regularly to keep the carpet low and encourage denser growth. Avoid shading from taller plants to maintain form.
With its soft texture, bright green blades, and natural spreading habit, Eleocharis parvula (Dwarf Hair Grass) is a favorite for aquascapers seeking a flowing, carpeted foreground. The tissue culture format guarantees a clean, pest-free start for vibrant aquascaping.
