Acorus Gramineus Var. Pusillus (Japanese Dwarf Rush)

Japanese Dwarf Rush

As its name implies, this is one of the smaller plants which is perfect for placing near the front of the aquarium. The leaves are narrow and grow to two or three inches only. It does need strong light if it’s to prosper, but it grows fairly slowly. It may be divided into smaller plants by carefully splitting from the rhizome, or root base.
