Tropica In Vitro 1-2-grow! Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini'

Tropica In Vitro 1-2-grow! Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini'

Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup.

Eleocharis acicularis 'mini' has even lower growth than the common Eleocharis parvula and was given to Tropica by Thomas Barr from USA. Plant the mini-version in small portions to cover a large area. In short time, a dense carpet will be obtained. Needs light to perform optimally, however, it is one of the most reliable species for creating a carpet – and a minimum of maintenance since the leaves remain short (3-5 cm). Suitable for nano-aquariums.

1-2-GROW!
1 - Carefully take the plant out of the cup and rinse off the growing media under the tap.
2 - Split the plant in 6-8 portions using your fingers or sharp scissors (for small foreground plants).
GROW! - Plant portions into the substrate using tweezers. Then watch them grow!
