Eleocharis parvula Tissue Culture – Lush, Bright Green Carpet Plant
Eleocharis parvula, commonly known as Dwarf Hairgrass, is one of the most popular foreground carpeting plants in the aquascaping hobby. Its fine, grass-like blades create a vibrant green lawn effect that brings a natural, clean look to any aquarium. The tissue culture version ensures a pest-free, algae-free, and snail-free start, perfect for shrimp tanks and high-quality planted aquariums.
Native to North America and Europe, Eleocharis parvula grows along the edges of shallow streams, ponds, and wetlands. In aquariums, it spreads through runners to form a dense, low-growing carpet, ideal for creating open, grassy scapes or accenting stone layouts in Iwagumi-style aquascapes.
Lighting: Medium to high light promotes compact, even carpeting.
CO₂ & Nutrients: Benefits from CO₂ injection and a nutrient-rich substrate for faster, denser growth.
Placement: Ideal for foreground or carpeting; plant in small clumps 1–2 inches apart for quick coverage.
Water Conditions: Thrives in 68–82°F (20–28°C), pH 6.0–7.5, soft to moderately hard water.
Maintenance: Trim regularly to maintain a neat carpet and encourage horizontal spreading.
Completely pest-, algae-, and snail-free, safe for shrimp and delicate fish.
Lab-grown under sterile conditions for strong, healthy plants.
Ships in sealed nutrient gel cups — rinse and plant directly.
No quarantine required before adding to your aquarium.
Creates a lush, natural green carpet in the foreground.
Perfect for aquascaping styles like Nature and Iwagumi layouts.
Hardy and beginner-friendly, yet stunning in high-tech tanks.
Shrimp-safe and enhances water quality and tank aesthetics.
