Description KIWI GRASS AKA DWARF HAIR GRASS Here are some tips for caring for dwarf hairgrass: Light: Dwarf hairgrass needs moderate to high light for healthy growth. Temperature: Dwarf hairgrass prefers tropical temperatures between 72–82°F (22–28°C). Water changes: Regular water changes help maintain water quality. Trimming: If leaves are dying or melting, cut them off at the base. To make the carpet look like a field of grass, use curved scissors to cut all the leaves to an even height. Thinning: Thin out the plant occasionally with aquascaping scissors. Vacuuming: Use a siphon hose to vacuum the lawn just above the plants to remove excess organic waste and algae. Shrimp: Add algae eating shrimp to help keep the plants free from algae and uneaten food. Replanting: Once the plant is well-established, it will self-propagate by sending out runners across the substrate. You can trim off the new baby plants and replant them or leave them to grow out. Planting: Moisten the soil before planting, then use thin steel pinsettes to push small groupings of the plants into the soil. Root tabs: If the leaves are turning pale or yellowing, add more root tabs
