ELEOCHARIS ACICULARIS – Hardy and Versatile Foreground Carpet Plant for Freshwater Aquariums, Tropica 1-2-Grow! Cup
Eleocharis acicularis is one of the most reliable and widely used carpeting plants in freshwater aquariums. A member of the Cyperaceae family, it is highly adaptable and thrives under a variety of tank conditions, making it a favorite among both beginners and seasoned aquascapers. It performs best in open, well-lit areas where it can fully display its fine, upright growth.
The plant forms a dense, grass-like carpet with thin, flexible leaves, offering a natural and elegant look. It grows to a height of 6–15 cm, depending on lighting and trimming. Once planted, Eleocharis acicularis quickly spreads its roots throughout the substrate, establishing a lush green carpet. It can be trimmed easily to maintain a desired height without harming the plant.
This version is part of the Tropica 1-2-Grow! range, grown in sterile in-vitro conditions. It is completely free of snails, algae, and pesticides, making it safe for shrimp, sensitive fish, and newly established tanks. Before planting, the nutrient gel should be washed off, and the plant divided into small clumps and inserted into the substrate using tweezers.
