Eleocharis Fluctuans

Eleocharis fluctuans Tissue Culture – Tall Hairgrass Accent for Natural Aquascapes

Add graceful movement and vertical contrast to your aquarium with Eleocharis fluctuans Tissue Culture, a unique hairgrass species known for its long, flowing blades and natural, reed-like appearance. Unlike shorter carpeting varieties, this plant grows tall and slightly arching, making it ideal for creating depth, background texture, or soft transitions in aquascapes.

Grown in sterile laboratory conditions, each tissue culture cup is free from pests, algae, and contaminants, making it a safe and reliable choice for pristine planted tanks and shrimp systems.

Shipping

We only ship livestock Monday to Wednesday to avoid weekend delays. Please keep in mind the availability of plants can change quickly as they come in and out of our possession or deteriorate in health, so there could be a delay updating the published availability. We will be in touch if the species you order is not available and you will always have the option to wait or take a substitute or refund. We appreciate your patience as we work to deliver healthy plants to you. 

Please note: We source our plants from several different growers and restock on a rotating basis. We aim to keep each species in stock from at least one supplier but not necessarily more. By default, we will send the freshest plant regardless of which grower you select. If you are particular about which grower supplies your plant, please make this clear in your order notes. There may be a wait for you to receive a plant from a specific grower, depending on when we are able to order from them and their availability.
