Eleocharis Vivipara TC Pot - Tall Background Hairgrass

Add movement and natural texture to the back of your aquascape with Eleocharis Vivipara, a taller cousin of dwarf hairgrass known for its long, arching grass-like blades and vigorous growth. Supplied in a tissue culture (TC) pot, it arrives pesticide-free, snail-free, and ready to divide into small tufts for planting toward the back or midground of your tank.

Why Aquascapers Love It

• Tall, flowing blades: Long grass-like leaves that sway in the current, creating a natural meadow or reed-bed effect at the back of the tank
• Fast, vigorous growth: Spreads and fills in quickly, making it an efficient way to build a lush background
• 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 to thicken and widen the planting over time
• Easy to divide: A single TC pot can be split into multiple 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 toward the back or midground, spaced apart to allow room for spreading
• Grows well under low to high light; CO2 injection speeds up growth and blade production
• Trim blade tips as needed once established to maintain height and encourage denser growth

Whether you're building a natural biotope, a reed-style background, or want fast, reliable height at the back of your tank, Eleocharis Vivipara delivers graceful movement and quick coverage. Each TC pot is inspected before packing to arrive healthy and ready to plant.
