Hair grass pre grown carpet plant 14x10cm
Pad Size 14x10cm
Eleocharis parvula, commonly known as Dwarf Hairgrass, is a popular aquatic plant used in aquascaping to create lush, carpet-like effects in aquariums. When pre-grown on a pad, it offers several advantages for easy installation and quick establishment in your tank.
– Carpet-Like Growth:The plant forms a dense, low-growing mat (2-5 cm tall) resembling a grassy meadow.
– Easy Placement: The pad can be simply placed on the substrate, eliminating the need for individual planting.
– Faster Establishment: Since the grass is already rooted in the pad, it adapts quickly to the aquarium environment.
– Reduced Melt: Pre-grown Hair grass plants often transition better underwater, minimizing die-off compared to emersed-grown plants.

EASYLIFE 25 ROOT STICKS
Optimal root feeding
The Easy-Life 25 Root Sticks are ideal to feed plants directly at the roots. The product contains 25 pieces of special clay sticks that are very nutritious and have a high iron content. Due to the special pre-treatment of these sticks, they do not fall apart immediately upon contact with water. The release of nutrients goes very gradually over a period of several weeks. The water will not get cloudy at all, so algae cannot take advantage of that. The product is very easy to use and causes no additional water pollution.
Use these root sticks for plants with a strong need for root nutrition such as Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus or Lotus. If the soil layer is very narrow or the plant roots are small, the sticks can be very easily broken into smaller pieces. The root sticks can therefore be used in all cases.
