Eleocharis Pusilla, more simply known as Hair Grass, is a beautiful aquarium plant that is used commonly in aquascaping for its low-growing, lawn forming abilities. Eleocharis Pusilla is a generally undemanding foreground aquatic plant choice and will readily produce reliable ground coverage in an aquarium tank. With foliage resembling blades of grass, Eleocharis Pusilla has a bright green color that pops against darker aquatic plants. This aquarium plant will grow without high-light and CO2 injection, but we highly recommend implementing these factors as it will aid in quicker and lusher growth. Eleocharis Pusilla grows via runners and will quickly spread if conditions are optimal. To prevent this aquarium plant from growing in unwanted areas of a planted aquarium tank, frequent trimming and maintenance will be required once the aquarium plant takes off.  Common Name Hair Grass Eleocharis Pusilla Care Easy Lighting Medium to High CO2 Recommended Suggested Placement Foreground Propagation Trim and plant runners Growth Rate Moderate to Fast Height 3-6+"
