Tropica Eleocharis acicularis 'Mini' CUP

Eleocharis acicularis or mini needle ledges are among the "safe" ground covers, despite the high light requirement! It grows rather slowly into a dense, grass-like carpet, but needs little to no maintenance. With the 3 to 5cm high plant, great foregrounds and deeply effective layouts can be greened - ideal for lush underwater gardens!

• Light requirement: good to intense, no shade at all
• Optimal temperature: 18 to 27°C
• Water values: very soft to medium-hard
• pH value: 5 to 7, tolerant
• Addition of CO2 and nutrients: absolutely
• Propagation: runners, division, separation of daughter plants
• Emersed growth: yes

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
