Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini'
Introduction:
Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini' is a dwarf variety of the classic Hair Grass, loved for its ultra-short height and fine texture, making it an exceptional choice for creating tight, grass-like carpets in nano and high-tech aquascapes. This species maintains a lower growth profile than Eleocharis parvula, allowing for more controlled, compact foregrounds. Supplied in tissue culture form, this Ready to Grow Mini Hair Grass is completely sterile and free of snails, algae, and pests—ideal for clean, healthy setups.
Care Requirements:
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 20–28 °C
pH Range: 6.0–7.5
Water Hardness: 2–10 dGH
Nutrient Requirements:
Performs best in nutrient-rich substrate with consistent CO₂ injection. Requires regular liquid fertilization to maintain strong growth and vibrant green color.
Tank Setup:
Perfect for foreground use in tanks of all sizes. Requires medium to high light to stay compact and spread evenly. Plant in small tufts spaced apart to allow runners to fill in the gaps.
Care Tips:
Rinse tissue culture gel thoroughly before planting. Use tweezers to plant individual clusters across the substrate. Trim frequently to encourage denser carpets and prevent upward growth. Keep light levels high and avoid shading.
With its extremely short profile and clean, fine leaves, Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini' is the ultimate plant for achieving manicured, lawn-like aquascapes. The tissue culture format ensures a pristine, vibrant start for precise, pest-free aquascaping.
