AU$12.50 inc GST
Plant in small clumps spaced 1–2 cm apart to encourage even spreading. Good substrate, medium-to-high lighting, and CO₂ injection will significantly speed up carpeting. Regular trimming keeps the lawn dense and prevents shading of lower growth.
Eleocharis sp. Belem, commonly known as Mini Hairgrass, is one of the most popular foreground plants in the aquascaping hobby. Its fine, grass-like blades create a lush, natural-looking lawn effect that works beautifully in both Nature Aquarium and Dutch-style layouts. With the right conditions, it spreads via runners to form a dense, carpet-like foreground that gives any aquascape a polished, professional finish.
