Description
Haigrass Dwarf (Eleocharis Acicularis)
Eleocharis Acicularis, commonly known as Hairgrass, is a grass-like plant whose height will vary depending on the intensity of lighting. Brigher or more intense light will produce a shorter plant. The plant produces fine grassy leaves.
Care & Maintenance for Haigrass Dwarf
This is an easy to grow plant provided that its requirement are met. The plant likes good substrate, fertilization and light. Keep the plant clean of debris to make it look its best, prevent it from decaying or inhibiting its growth. Having scavenging fish like corydoras catfish helps quite a bit as these fish will disturb and/or remove the dirt as they look for food.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate - Strong
- Temperature Range: 72-82°F
- Tank Placement: Foreground
Haigrass looks best when planted in small groups in the foreground areas of the aquarium. It should be allowed to spread. Provided with good conditions, the plant will spread through runners and will create an attractive "lawn" effect in the aquarium.
Hairgrass Dwarf is also available potted. We offer many other carpetting plants for sale and they can be found here.

Fast grower
Posted by Donald Shinn on 13 Sep 2023A decent-sized bundle. Easily divided into five smaller clumps for planting. Each of those smaller clumps is now sending out runners and new shoots in less than a week in the tank. May take over my tank if it keeps growing like this. Just four stars as the shipped plant was about 60%green and 40% brown stems. It's growing great now though. All five divisions are growing like mad.

Good sized bundle!
Posted by Lauren on 18 May 2023My hairgrass dwarf was about an inch thick at the base and I was able to split the plant into two for my foreground. It has been about a month, and my snails have not yet uprooted my hairgrass! My bundle came snail free, but needed to be rinsed due to the supplier's substrate at the base of the plant, which was part of the reason I needed to separate the plant into two bunches. Very easy to take care of and definitely recommend for beginners!

Hairgrass dwarf
Posted by Anne Simmons on 28 Oct 2022I like this so much, I now have it in two tanks. When it arrives, the clumps look disappointingly small, but as soon as you plant them they fan out. After a couple of months they will start to spread, even without CO2.

No complaints
Posted by Liz on 4 Nov 2021Arrived quickly, alive, healthy, and identical to picture. 5 stars for for quality and product being as described, despite plant diversity, it arrived almost identical to the picture which I appreciate, as it is common in this hobby to receive items different than pictured.
