What is dwarf hairgrass (Eleocharis acicularis)?
dwarf hairgrass, or Eleocharis acicularis, is a fine-leaved aquatic plant native to shallow waters. This plant grows low to the bottom and forms a dense mat of sprite-like leaves. Its compact form makes dwarf hairgrass ideal as an oxygen plant in ponds and aquariums.
Why choose dwarf hairgrass in your pond?
- Oxygenated environment: dwarf hairgrass helps oxygenate the water, which is essential for fish and other aquatic animals.
- Natural look: The fine leaves create a natural-looking ecosystem that integrates perfectly into an ecological pond.
- Bottom cover: dwarf hairgrass covers the bottom, which prevents algae and duckweed from growing quickly.
How do you plant dwarf hairgrass in your pond?
dwarf hairgrass grows best in the shallow areas of your pond, at a depth of 5-20 cm. Follow these simple steps:
- Choose a sunny spot: dwarf hairgrass needs lots of light to grow optimally.
- Plant in pond substrate: Use a fine, nutrient-poor substrate to prevent excess nutrients from promoting algae growth.
- Regular pruning: Keep growth under control by lightly pruning the grass when it becomes too dense.
Maintenance of Eleocharis acicularis
dwarf hairgrass is low maintenance, but for optimal growth and a healthy pond you can:
- Regularly remove dead parts.
- Add bacteria such as BACTA CLEAR to break down organic waste and maintain water quality.
- Supplement with natural fertilizers such as pond tablets to stimulate growth.
