A low-growing Eleocharis that forms runners close to the parent plant. It is prettiest planted in small bunches quite close to each other, which will gradually form a solid mass of plants. An ideal foreground plant, equally suited to large and small aquariums.
Some growers sell this as Eleocharis pusilla.

Tissue culture plants are grown in-vitro (literally: in the glass) in a nutrient-rich synthetic growing medium, either liquid or gel, without the presence of any other lifeforms. This guarantees a pest and disease-free specimen, while also providing accuracy throughout the trade.
Tissue culture plants should be removed from the cup as soon as possible. All plants grow on some sort of synthetic growing medium, ranging anywhere from liquid to jelly to firm gel. This should be removed and rinsed off. Gently massage the roots between your fingers until the gel dissolves away. Most plants can be broken up into smaller pieces and spread out in your aquarium. Smaller pieces are easier to plant.
United StatesRecently planted dwarf hairgrass and it exceeded my expectations – perfect for a lush lawn or meadow-style scape!
United StatesNot one of my favorites only because I am impatient. I do see runner forming through the soil but it has taken some to time. The culture cups are beautiful when they arrive and you cannot complain about the amount that you get.
