Eleocharis vivipara

• 25 - 50 cm height
• Temperature 20-28°C
• Light requirement: Low - normal
• pH 5.2 - 8

An easy-to-care-for, very beautiful, and unusual plant with very thin, thread-like leaves. It is particularly suitable as a background plant in otherwise sparsely populated aquariums and looks very attractive in small groups.

Eleocharis vivipara prefers soft water and thrives even in very moderate light. As its name suggests, this "live-bearing" Eleocharis forms small offshoots on its leaves.
