Pearlweed is a dense creeping grower that propagates through runners and branches. Quick growing, it is a haven for tiny fish and baby shrimp! This loose variety of "Hemianthus/Micranthemum Micranthemoides" is excellent for creating beautiful aquascapes and Terrarium-style emergent aquariums.
Although Co2 is not at all needed, you'll see denser, lower carpeting growth with a higher-tech set up.
One 2oz deli cup is roughly the size of a golfball. Please refer to the portion pictured in my hand to see what this looks like.

Looking for the potted, better- rooted version of Pearlweed?
Growing Suggestions:
- Medium to Low light needs
- Low tech, unheated aquarium, 60-80F
- Fast upright/ creeping growth rate
- Root tabs recommended: No
- Excellent forage and shelter!
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!

It had a few burn leaves and didn’t end up making it but it was a great snack for my shrimps
Came to me on time but it was all liquid b
The portion that came was melted and not healthy at all, hopefully they will still grow.
Easiest carpeting plant ever! Came with a portion that could cover a 15 gallon in no time!
