Variegated Rush Acorus gramineus var. variegatus (Terrarium Only

Variegated Rush (Acorus gramineus var. variegatus) is a classic and elegant grass-like perennial from eastern Asia, beloved for its crisp, white-and-green striped, strap-shaped leaves that form neat, upright tufts. A timeless choice for terrariums and paludariums, it adds a clean, structured contrast to lush green plantings and mosses. Its compact growth habit and easygoing nature make it one of the most versatile and beginner-friendly terrarium plants available.

Propagation: Propagates by division — separate the rhizome into smaller clumps with healthy roots and leaves, and replant directly into moist substrate.
