Eleocharis pusilla 'Mini' is one of the smallest hair grasses and is often used in aquascapes to look like a grassy field or lawn. This slow-growing species stays around 1–2 inches (3–5 cm) tall and therefore requires minimal trimming. For the best growth, use a tank setup with medium to high lighting and CO2 gas. Provide a nutrient-rich substrate (such as aquatic soil or a well-established, non-soil substrate), and the plant will propagate by sending out runners that form a lush carpet in your aquarium.
100% Free of Pests
Tissue culture plants are "lab-grown" at the farms by taking a tissue sample from an existing plant and growing it in a sterile nutrient medium. While tissue culture plants tend to be smaller and more expensive than potted plants, they are 100% free of snails, algae, and duckweed.
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
Arrived in perfect condition. Super impressed, the packaging is A+

Eleocharis Pusilla 'Mini' Tissue Culture
Nice cup of hair grass. It was in a liquid instead than a gel, so it was much easier to remove. Just rinse it a little. It had a fair amount of healthy plantlets with good roots. I could plant a square area of about 5 inches wide, but it depends on how thick you want to plant it. Overall, I am very happy with the quality, the shipping and the customer service. This and other plants were shipped in a thermic bag and arrived with no damage. I would buy it again.

Great Value, Very Green
Purchased three of these to start a new carpet. Each cup contained a strip of about 8" of grass. I cut each into about 1" long pieces and planted them. Every piece still green a week later.

Hair grass
It’s not as green as when I put it in but it looks like it has healthy roots and will be gorgeous.

DOA (dead on arrival)
The tissue culture I received was 75% dead, all brown and mucky! I put the best parts of it in my aquarium hoping for some bounce back to no avail.
