Description
Create a natural, lawn-like landscape in your aquascape with Hairgrass (Eleocharis acicularis), one of the most reliable and classic carpeting plants in the aquarium hobby. As its runner roots colonize the substrate, it spreads into a lush, grassy meadow 6 to 15 cm tall. Exceptionally versatile and forgiving, it thrives in almost all aquarium conditions, performing best in unshaded, open areas where light can reach the substrate.
Delivered in a Dennerle Plant-It! In-Vitro tissue culture cup, this plant is cultivated under sterile laboratory conditions. It is guaranteed 100% free of snails, snail eggs, pest algae, pathogens, and pesticides—making it completely safe for delicate dwarf shrimp and fish. Pre-adapted for submerged growth, it eliminates the traditional melting transition phase for faster, seamless spreading in your tank.
