Eleocharis Acicularis AKA Dwarf Hairgrass - Aquarium Gardens
Eleocharis Acicularis AKA Dwarf Hairgrass - Aquarium Gardens

Product Description

Eleocharis Acicularis (also known as Hairgrass) is an easy carpeting plant. Given the right amount of light this plant will carpet within weeks by shooting our runners. It is also suitable for lower tech set-ups, however growth will be slower. When planting, plant in small clumps into your substrate. The blades can reach up to 15cm in length. Once dense/overgrown you can trim down to 2-3cm to encourage new growth. It also looks effective when planted between rocks or amonst other foreground plants such as Hemianthus Callitrichoides or Sagittaria.

  • Vibrant plants

    Ordered plants from here a few times and it has always been a great service. Plants are always healthy and packaged well. Excellent service and quick delivery

  • Superb quality plants.

    Superb quality plants. Delivered quickly and packaged superbly. I won’t be going anywhere else to get my aquarium plants and aquascaping equipment.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Dave and the guys at Aquarium Gardens are without doubt the leaders in their field of Aquascaping. My wife and I have visited several times over the last couple of years and have always received fantastic advice and guidance. Two years ago we had one small tank, we now have three aquascapes all running CO2, this definitely wouldn’t be possible without all the support from the guys at Aquarium Gardens. Carry on doing what you’re doing because your business model is superb…..thanks once again Malcolm & Cheryl Orgill

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
