Dwarf Hairgrass – Potted Plant

Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis acicularis) is a popular carpeting plant for freshwater aquariums, known for its fine, grass-like blades that create a soft, natural lawn effect across the substrate. Ideal for nano tanks and aquascapes, it helps create a lush foreground with a clean, minimalist look.

With proper lighting and CO₂, Dwarf Hairgrass spreads quickly by sending out runners, forming a dense green carpet.
