Tropica 1-2-GROW -Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini'
Eleocharis acicularis 'mini' has even lower growth than the common Eleocharis parvula and was given to Tropica by Thomas Barr from US. Plant the mini-version in small portions covering a larger area. In short time, a dense carpet will be obtained. Needs light to perform optimal, however, it is one of the most secure species for craeting a carpet – and a minimum of maintenance since leaves stays small (3-5 cm). Suitable for nano-aquariums.

Hi there, I'm wondering if ELEOCHARIS ACICULARIS will grow in a sand substrate? Also is CO2 required?
Substrate is important for this type of plant, it won't likely do that well in sand. CO2 is not needed.

I have a fluval flex 9gal. I would like to eventually have the substrate covered by the elecharis. How many should I buy?
One or two max. It needs to be broken apart into multiple clumps and planted.
