Tissue Culture Eleocharis acicularis
Eleocharis acicularis is very common and thrives in almost all conditions in an aquarium. An open space without shading from other plants is still preferable.
To plant it in the aquarium, press the grid softly into the bottom layer till it is just covered. Roots will start colonizing the surroundings, creating a beautiful carpet of 6-15 cm height. If the carpet grows too tall, you may carefully cut it back to the preferred height.

Easy to plant and grows steadily in my 50-liter tank. The carpet forms evenly and doesn’t compete with other plants. I cut it back a few times to keep it at a manageable height.

Grew well in my aquarium with moderate lighting. It spreads nicely and adds a natural look. A little maintenance is needed to keep it trimmed.
