Eleocharis Vivipara, also known as Umbrella Plant, is a special Eleocharis species from North and Central America. The plant forms small daughter plants at the tips of its stems — hence the name Vivipara (live-bearing). The hanging runners create an elegant, umbrella-like effect in the mid- or background.

✂️ Care
Plant the stems in the mid- or background. The plant forms daughter plants at the tips, which you can cut off and replant for propagation. CO₂ promotes healthy growth. Liquid fertilization such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's Tip
The daughter plants at the tips create a unique, elegant effect — leave them hanging for the most beautiful umbrella effect, or cut them off for propagation.
