Description
About Hеmіаnthuѕ Mісrаnthеmоіdеѕ
In a medium or large aquarium, the pearl grass aquarium plant makes an excellent foreground when trimmed short. It can also be used as a carpeting plant when cultivated properly, or you can let it grow as a large Midground bush. The baby tears aquarium plant has tiny leaves, so it can be pruned for different uses in nano aquariums.
Propagation
The pearl grass aquarium plant flowers easily when grown emersed. To propagate the plant, snip several stems, group them together, and plant them in the substrate. In the correct conditions, the new plants will take root rapidly, and the old plants will show bushier growth.
