Dwarf Spikerush, Small Spikerush and Hairgrass

You do not receive the pot. Please read below postage note.

In the aquarium trade, both Eleocharis parvula and Eleocharis acicularis are referred to as dwarf hairgrass. Formally, E. parvula is known as dwarf spikerush, small spikerush, and hairgrass; E. acicularis is known as needle spikerush and least spikerush. Both species of the plant come from the Cyperaceae family but slightly vary in distribution and appearance.

When shopping for this plant, it can be difficult to differentiate between the two species. E. parvula reaches a maximum size of about 4 inches (10 cm) and tends to have a ‘curly’ characteristic and is slightly darker than E. acicularis. On the other hand, E. acicularis can grow to about 12 inches (30 cm) and is usually a lighter green.

One of the reasons dwarf hairgrass is so commonly used as a foreground plant in aquascapes is that it’s a lot less demanding than many other carpeting species. Although you’ll still need at least medium light to grow it, you can forego added CO2 in most cases. Do consider using root tabs and/or maintaining a regular fertilization schedule or your plant might eventually end up looking a little sparse.

Keep in mind that like any carpeting plant, dwarf hairgrass needs to be trimmed regularly in most cases. Remove the tops of the leaves using angled scissors to keep your lawn looking perfect and to make sure the bottom parts aren’t deprived of freshwater.

 

Postage:

Plant will be packed in a plastic bag inside carton box (usually large letter) posted by Royal Mail which will reduce the cost of postage. We spend more time on packing plants which ensures that you receive the plants in a very good condition, not damaged by the pot or not mixed with gel (in-vitro).  Therefore, the plants are sent without the pot.
