Eleocharis Parvula TC Pot - Japanese Dwarf Hairgrass Carpet Plant

Get a true grass-like carpet in your planted tank with Eleocharis Parvula, better known as Japanese Dwarf Hairgrass, one of the finest and most compact carpeting plants available to aquascapers. Supplied in a tissue culture (TC) pot, it arrives pesticide-free, snail-free, and ready to divide into small tufts for planting across your foreground.

Why Aquascapers Love It

• True grass look: Slender, upright blades that mimic a natural lawn, giving aquascapes an authentic meadow-like foreground
• Compact and low-growing: Stays shorter than regular hairgrass, making it one of the best true carpeting options for small to medium tanks
• Pest and algae free: Lab-grown in a sterile TC pot, arriving free of snails, algae, and pests, safe to add directly into an established tank
• Spreads via runners: Sends out runners underground to fill in gaps and thicken the carpet over time
• Easy to divide: A single TC pot can be split into multiple small tufts, giving excellent coverage and value per pot

Care at a Glance

• Rinse the tissue culture gel off gently before dividing into small tufts for planting
• Plant tufts a short distance apart directly into substrate to allow the carpet to fill in naturally
• Grows best under moderate to high light with CO2 injection for a tight, low, grass-like carpet
• Trim regularly once established to encourage lateral spreading and a dense, even lawn

Whether you're building a nature-style aquascape or an Iwagumi layout, Eleocharis Parvula delivers a fine, true-grass carpet that's hard to match. Each TC pot is inspected before packing to arrive healthy and ready to plant.
