Eleocharis parvulus

Eleocharis parvula is a small aquatic plant native to South America that is often used in freshwater aquariums to form grassy mats. It has slender stems and thread-like leaves that can reach up to 10 cm in height. It requires high light and a nutrient-rich substrate for optimal growth. Eleocharis parvula spreads quickly by stolons to form a dense mat, adding a touch of naturalness to aquatic landscaping. This plant benefits the aquarium by helping to oxygenate the water and maintain a healthy ecological balance for fish and other aquatic animals. It is easy to grow and ideal for beginners.
