Eleocharis Parvula (Japanese hairgrass)

Japanese hairgrass, also known as Eleocharis Parvula, is a popular carpeting plant for aquariums. It is native to Asia and has thin, grass-like leaves that grow in a dense carpet.

This plant requires moderate care and attention to thrive, particularly in terms of lighting and nutrients. It prefers medium to high lighting and can benefit from CO2 supplementation, although it is not necessary. It can tolerate a wide range of water conditions, but soft to moderately hard water with a pH between 6.0-7.5 is optimal.

Propagation can be achieved through runners, and regular fertilization can help promote healthy growth. Overall, Japanese hairgrass is a beautiful and delicate plant that can add a natural and aesthetic look to any aquarium setup, but it may require more attention than other easy-care carpeting plants.
