ADA IC027 Eleocharis Parvula | TC Live Plant

Eleocharis parvula (Dwarf Hairgrass) is a popular foreground aquarium plant loved for its fine, grass-like leaves and ability to form a lush, natural carpet. Native to North America, this versatile species adds a fresh green meadow effect, making it a favorite among aquascapers.

Key Features:

• Compact Growth: Reaches 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) tall, forming dense tufts.
• Grass-Like Leaves: Thin, bright green blades grow upright, creating a clean carpet look.
• Vibrant Color: Adds a natural, refreshing green tone to any freshwater aquarium.
• Lighting Needs: Thrives under moderate to high lighting for compact, dense growth.
• CO₂ & Fertilization: Benefits greatly from CO₂ injection and regular nutrients but can adapt to low-tech setups.
• Ideal Substrate: Prefers fine-grained, nutrient-rich substrate to support root development.
• Water Parameters: Best in pH 6.0–7.5, soft to moderately hard water, and 68–82°F (20–28°C).

Care Tips:

• Plant in small clumps for faster spreading.
• Trim regularly to maintain a short, carpet-like appearance.
• Works best in the foreground or as a full carpet in aquascapes.
