Overview:

Eleocharis pusilla ‘Mini’ is a fine, grass-like carpeting plant prized for its compact height and neat, natural appearance. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is grown in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.

Its short, delicate blades make it an excellent choice for creating lush foreground carpets in planted aquariums. Compared to taller hairgrass species, ‘Mini’ stays low and tidy, making it ideal for nano tanks and detailed aquascapes.

Care and Growth:

This plant prefers medium to high lighting and benefits greatly from CO₂ injection, which encourages faster spreading and denser growth. A nutrient-rich substrate is recommended, as Eleocharis pusilla ‘Mini’ feeds primarily through its roots.

Once established, the plant spreads via runners, gradually forming a natural carpet across the substrate. Regular trimming helps maintain a compact appearance and promotes healthy new growth.
