Description
Eleocharis vivipara is a tall, grassy hairgrass whose slender blades arch and branch at the tips, giving a wild, windswept meadow effect quite unlike the short dwarf hairgrasses. Planted in a group, Eleocharis vivipara forms a flowing grassy backdrop or mid-tank thicket that brings graceful vertical movement to an aquascape.
Eleocharis vivipara is easy to grow in moderate light and spreads by runners into a dense stand, growing faster and taller with CO₂ and fertile substrate. Plant Eleocharis vivipara by pushing small clumps into the substrate; it propagates on its own, even sprouting tiny plantlets at the branching tips that can be replanted.
Hardy and self-spreading, Eleocharis vivipara suits beginners who want a grassy look without high-tech gear, and it is ideal for shrimp and community tanks where the fine blades shelter shrimp and fry. Choose Eleocharis vivipara for an easy, flowing grass meadow.
