Acorus gramineus ‘Pusillus’ is a compact, grass-like plant often used for aquariums, ponds, and terrariums.

Care Requirements:

• Tank Suitability: Best for terrariums, paludariums, or riparium setups; not a true aquatic plant.
• Lighting: Moderate to high light for optimal growth.
• Temperature: 15–26°C (59–79°F). Prefers cooler conditions.
• pH Range: 6.0–7.5. Adapts to slightly acidic to neutral water.
• Water Hardness: Soft to moderately hard (4–12 dGH).
• Substrate: Prefers moist, well-draining soil or substrate; avoid full submersion.
• CO2 Requirement: Not necessary.

Key Tips:

• Placement: Best suited for the edges of ponds, terrariums, or as an emergent plant.
• Submersion: Can tolerate shallow water but does not thrive fully submerged for long periods.
• Propagation: Divides easily through rhizome separation.

Acorus gramineus ‘Pusillus’ adds a beautiful grassy texture to semi-aquatic environments but should not be kept fully submerged long-term.
