Eleocharis pusilla 'Mini'

Product description

About the species

Eleocharis pusilla has even lower growth than the common Eleocharis parvula and was given to Tropica by Thomas Barr from the USA. Plant the mini version in small portions to cover a large area. In a short time a dense mat will form.

Requires light to perform optimally, but it is one of the most reliable species for creating a carpet - and minimal maintenance as the leaves remain short (3-5 cm). Suitable for nano aquariums and freshwater shrimp aquariums.
