General Information ::
Variegated Japanese Dwarf Rush is native to Asia and has stiff, grass-like, green leaves with cream striping that grows in dense groups. This is a great species for a tank with Herbivorous fish and/or Cichlids as most fish tend to leave this tough plant alone.
Variegated Japanese Dwarf Rush is a slow grower that is very tough and can withstand a wide range of water temperatures as well as being able to tolerate partial shade to moderate lighting. Variegated Japanese Dwarf Rush requires at least 1.5 to 2 watts per gallon of light provided by full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs. Regular dosing of high quality liquid fertilizers and a nutrient-rich substrate is recommended for optimal growth and health.
Variegated Japanese Dwarf Rush mainly propagates via rhizome division; simply cut the plant at the rhizome with very sharp, sterilized scissors. It's recommended to place the newly cut divisions in a pot for a few weeks so they can develop before transplanting them to the aquarium substrate.
