(Disclaimer this is an affiliate link so I do get a commission) Dwarf Hair grass comes in two forms Eleocharis parvula and Eleocharis acicularis and of course is a fresh water plant. In nature you will find it in a verity of places all over north American, Europe, Asia and south American. Prefering shallow water ways with lots of light. It is a relatively fast growing carpeting plant compared to other plant in the hobby, that are some what slower. It will require a moderate to high intensity light and would benefit from Co2 and root tabs to help it spread faster and thicker.

Thanks for the video. Couldn' t help noticing that you place a lot of trust on your cabinets to hold up your tanks.

[@tjautocross]

Never had a carpeting plant before. Thanks for the info, Lefty!

[@Lefty3213a]

You bet!

[@darlenestanks9742]

Thanks

[@Lefty3213a]

You're welcome

[@TheOfficialSteelReign]

Thanks for the info. I was looking at this plant at the last swap I went to. Now I know to avoid it. Until I invest in better lighting.

[@Lefty3213a]

Glad it was helpful!

[@krisgoyette9938]

Nice video

[@Lefty3213a]

Thank you very much :)

[@russellthomas1216]

just started growing some from seeds and wanted to know ... Does trimming it make it spread and fill in quicker?

[@Lefty3213a]

Trimming will always help plants grow. I am not necessarily sure if it will help this carpet faster, though unfortunately. Sorry.

[@toutanglor]

Do you recommend sand or what type of substrate in aquarium ?

[@Lefty3213a]

With this ive grown it in gravel, the small pebble gravel and dirt/sand. I feel like the dirt/sand, sand and regular gravel is best since it gives the roots an easier time spreading out

[@alisonnicholson]

Not tried this plant. Might try it in my new 16G scape. Cheers Lefty👍

[@Lefty3213a]

Go for it! hope it works out :D

[@alisonnicholson]

@@Lefty3213a thanks 👍

I planted long hair grass from seed it did wonderful spouting, but now that's it been in water for almost 2 months it's been melting away I'm not sure why it has the right light, the correct plant food, am I just now starting to think I should add co2, so I added flourish excel while I wait for my co2 diy to build up pressure. Does anyone have any tips on how to keep long hair grass from melting

[@niltherunaway4645]

@@Scarlet-d7g i've heard some people say that carpeting plant seeds are a scam and that you are much more encouraged to buy clumps that you manually plant. I don't have any experience with carpeting plant seeds, but I always had success with manually planting plants

[@vonyinzer]

I am planing a tank using a single feature that is a "lava Rock stone Moai" statue... i have never had any luck growing dwarf hair grass but I think it would provide the look I am after.. does it prefer a certain substrate? Thanks in advance! Love what you do!

[@Lefty3213a]

So id say either sand, dirt/sand, or just regular gravel you get at the store like the "colored" stuff. I think the large pebble stuff is not roomy enough for it to grow nicely almost suffocates it I think. Im sure the small ball like aquasoils would work as well. Did you try root tabs before? I have done it both and they def do help it out. Never did Co2 though.

[@Scarlet-d7g]

Should I add root tabs ?

[@Lefty3213a]

Yes hair grass is one that needs something to fertilize the soil as well. So if you're fish aren't pooping enough you might want to try a tropica root tab. The liquid ferts aren't as good since these are heavy root based nourishment versus water column plants
