Description:
Eleocharis vivipara, commonly known as Giant or Umbrella Hairgrass, is a popular background plant for aquariums. It features tall, slender stems that create a canopy effect as they fold over. This hardy plant thrives in medium to high light conditions and benefits from CO2 injection to encourage growth. It can reach heights of 12 to 16 inches and grows via runners, making it easy to propagate. Native to the southern United States, it adapts well to various freshwater conditions and adds a jungle-like aesthetic to aquariums. The plant is known for its swaying effect in water currents and requires occasional trimming to maintain its appearance.
