Aquatic Tissue Culture Plants

Tissue culture plants are propagated in sterile packages where they grow in non-toxic, germ- and pest-free environments. Complete Aquatic Systems owns and operates our own tissue culture lab thus giving us total control over the varieties and quantities produced.  Another benefit to having our own lab is that we don't have any middlemen to deal with.

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.

1 review for Mісrаnthеmum micranthemoides

  1. Tamay – December 21, 2020:

    Both of these plants have almost identical care and can usually be used interchangeably but there are some small differences here too. Baby Tears is usually easier to care for and tends to grow a bit faster than Pearl Grass, but Pearl Grass is a better foreground plant that will stay shorter and have smaller leaves under high light. Baby Tears tends to be taller and bushier but either can be pruned and trimmed to maintain a height or growth pattern. Both plants can be grown in bunches or on a surface like driftwood, rock or a plastic mat to form a thicker carpet; use fishing line or string to hold it in place under the roots start to attach.
