Dwarf Hairgrass grows well even without CO₂, though higher light and nutrient availability speed up carpet formation.
🛠️ Maintenance Level: Moderate
While easy to care for, Dwarf Hairgrass benefits from occasional maintenance to maintain a uniform carpet.
Care tips:

Trim excess runners and leaves to maintain even coverage
-
Replant trimmings to expand the carpet gradually

Nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs enhance growth

CO₂ injection is optional but accelerates density and color
