Potted Dwarf Baby Tears Aquarium Live Plant
Description
Dwarf Baby Tears plant drapes your aquarium with elegant leaf clusters. The
smallest of known aquarium plants, Hemianthus callitrichoides is an ideal
foreground plant. If regularly pruned, this bright green South American native
can also be floated at the water’s surface. Either way, it creates the ideal
location for spawning fish to hide their eggs and active bottom dwellers to
forage for food. Native to Cuba, Dwarf Baby Tears will eventually form a dense
carpet over your aquarium substrate when planted. Some plants take time to
establish themselves; however, once ideal conditions are met, this plant fills
in well. For optimal health, H. callitrichoides requires bright, direct
lighting and a rich nutrient base. Provided lighting and nutrient criteria are
met, Dwarf Baby Tears is generally not finicky about care. The plant
propagates via runners that branch off of the root area. Cuttings from a
mature plant can also be repotted and positioned in other areas of your
aquarium. Care Level: Moderate Lighting: High Placement: Foreground Water
