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.

Remove the plant from the cup, gently rinse away the nutrient gel and divide it into several small portions. Plant them with some space between each portion so they can establish.
In vitro plants are grown under sterile conditions and normally arrive free from snails, algae and pesticides, making them suitable for sensitive shrimp aquariums.
Requirements depend on the species. CO₂ and balanced plant nutrition often produce denser, healthier growth, but follow the light and care requirements in the product description.
Provide stable lighting and nutrition, avoid major changes and remove deteriorating leaves. Newly planted specimens often need time to adapt to submerged growth.
