Eleocharis vivipara in Vitro Culture® – Graceful, Grass-Like Plant for Tall Background Layouts

Eleocharis vivipara, commonly known as Tall Hairgrass, is a stunning and delicate stem plant that adds a soft, flowing texture to freshwater aquariums. With its thin, bright green, grass-like blades that can grow up to 20–30 inches tall, this plant creates a natural, meadow-like backdrop perfect for large tanks or open-style aquascapes. Its signature trait is vivipary—tiny plantlets that grow directly from the tips of mature leaves, making propagation both fascinating and easy.

Grown in our Vitro Culture® 4-inch sterile bag, each portion includes multiple clean, pest-free plantlets cultivated in vitamin-enriched gel or liquid medium. This format ensures your plants are 100% free from snails, algae, pathogens, and pesticides, making it ideal for sensitive tanks, shrimp setups, and professional aquascaping.

          WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

          Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

          However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

          1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
          2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
          3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
          4. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

          Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.

          Green and healthy

          Plants arrived green and healthy. I was concerned because they were coming from the opposite side of the country. Arrived on day 5 perfectly healthy.
