Aquarium plant grown from tissue culture in sealed beaker.

Eleocharis acicularis "mini" has even lower growth than the usual Eleocharis parvula. Plant in small bunches beyond the area that is desired to be covered. In a short time, masses of spurs will cover the entire surface. Requires good light conditions, but is one of the safest carpet-forming aquarium plants. Eleocharis mini is particularly distinguished by not requiring clipping, as the leaves rarely grow more than 3-5 cm long. Ideal for very small aquariums.
