Description
The name “Giant Hairgrass” is probably best to describe the appearance of this exceptional grasslike plant. The leaves grow to a length of 30-50 cm and to a width of only 1 mm. It is also known as Eleocharis montevidensis in the hobby, however its identity is not yet clear. Also sold with the label Eleocharis sp.
This American Eleocharis has a fresh grass green colour and grows to be 20-40cm high. It is basic and low maintenance. Each straw is only few millimeters thick and the plant maintains an open form of growth. It is suitable as a background plant, and can further be planted in front and in the centre of the aquarium, in transparent wads, in order to create depth and perspective. The plant spreads through runners, which occasionally have to be trimmed and maybe planted elsewhere.
