✂️ Care
Plant Eleocharis acicularis in small clumps 2–3 cm apart in a nutrient-rich substrate. With sufficient light and CO₂, the plant spreads via runners and forms a dense carpet. Regularly add liquid plant food, such as Sera Florena.
💡 Planting tip
Combine Eleocharis acicularis with Monte Carlo or Staurogyne repens for a varied foreground with different textures.
❓ Frequently asked questions

A tissue culture plant from Tropica, completely free from algae, snails, and other unwanted organisms.
How long does it take for a carpet to form?
With CO₂ and good light, a dense carpet will form within 6–10 weeks.
Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly and offers shrimp a perfect hiding place among the fine grass blades.
