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.
