Eleocharis vivipara

Eleocharis vivipara, commonly known as Viviparous Hairgrass, is a popular choice among aquarists for creating lush, green carpets in the foreground of aquariums. This species is characterized by its fine, hair-like leaves that provide a soft, grassy appearance. Eleocharis vivipara is easy to care for and adapts well to a variety of water conditions, making it suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists. It reproduces by producing small plantlets that grow along the parent plant, making it a great option for creating a dense carpet over time. While it can thrive without CO2 supplementation, providing it will encourage denser growth and a more vibrant appearance. With moderate to high lighting, Viviparous Hairgrass flourishes, adding a natural and vibrant look to any aquascape.
