Care & Maintenance for Haigrass Dwarf

This is an easy to grow plant provided that its requirement are met. The plant likes good substrate, fertilization and light. Keep the plant clean of debris to make it look its best, prevent it from decaying or inhibiting its growth. Having scavenging fish like corydoras catfish helps quite a bit as these fish will disturb and/or remove the dirt as they look for food.

• Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate - Strong
• Temperature Range: 72-82°F
• Tank Placement: Foreground

Haigrass looks best when planted in small groups in the foreground areas of the aquarium. It should be allowed to spread. Provided with good conditions, the plant will spread through runners and will create an attractive "lawn" effect in the aquarium.

Hairgrass Dwarf is also available potted. We offer many other carpetting plants for sale and they can be found here.
