Eleocharis Parvula Mini

So I reordered 3 more of these & WOW they were even better. The cups were improved & had resealable lids. The plants were super fresh i guess since they weren't all tangled together like the previous batch. It took hardly any work to remove the plants from the gel & they popped out in perfect little portions which made planting a breeze. I am extremely satisfied with these plants.

I have to say I wasn’t expecting much concerning Tissue Cultured (TC) plants. The main reason I went with TC is because it's for a future shrimp tank & it's important that the tank is parasite/pest free. I was also concerned because I've heard stories of people buying TC & received a plant that had either been in a cup for months or was dying/dead. That was not the case, the Eleocharis Parvulus Mini (AKA Dwarf Hairgrass) was very alive. The Dwarf Hairgrass had very nice green coloration with hardly any yellow/brown leaves. I was very pleased by how much Dwarf Hairgrass was in the cup. After I rinsed the TC gel off, I began trying to separate the Dwarf Hairgrass. It was very difficult because it had grown so much in the cup that the roots & leaves were all tangled together. Even using very sharp scissors (even tried smaller scissors) it was usually impossible to cut just the roots, so I had to cut lots of the leaves due to this. I could have very easily planted my entire tank with 1 cup of Dwarf Hairgrass but I didn’t have the patience to do that, also I want it to fill in more quickly. I’m anxious to see how it does/fills in/grows in my tank. I would highly recommend buying this & buying from Glass Aqua. In fact, I plan to purchase more plants from them for my new 20 long very soon.
