Eleocharis Acicularis (Mini) Tissue Culture

Tissue Culture – Eleocharis acicularis (Mini), also known as Dwarf Hairgrass, is a popular carpeting plant in aquascaping, prized for its fine, grass-like appearance and low-growing form. This miniature variety stays shorter than standard Hairgrass, creating a soft, natural carpet ideal for nano tanks and foreground layouts. Grown in sterile tissue culture, it’s free from pests, algae, and snails—ready to plant and thrive in your aquarium.

In the Pisces Laboratory, Aquarium plants are cultivated using tissue-culture techniques in small pots of nutrient-rich sterile agar jelly. These little pots pack a lot of goodness in a small space and you will find multiple plants in each container.  Before planting in your aquarium, gently wash off the jelly and carefully split the plants into a few pieces if desired.
