Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana, commonly known as Dwarf Mondo Grass, is a compact variety of the popular Mondo Grass species.

    • Terrarium Plant: Perfect for both closed and open-top terrariums due to its adaptability.

    • Propagation

      Propagation of Dwarf Mondo Grass is simple and can be done by dividing the clumps and replanting them in the desired location. This will encourage new growth and help maintain a lush, green appearance.

      Dwarf Mondo Grass is a charming and practical addition to any terrarium or garden setting. Its compact size, easy maintenance, and versatility make it an excellent choice for creating a beautiful and natural-looking environment.
