Hemianthus callitrichoides – Baby Tears (10cm x 15cm per piece)

Description

Hemianthus callitrichoides, commonly known as Baby Tears, is a popular and highly regarded foreground plant in aquascaping. Known for its tiny, delicate leaves and vibrant green color, Baby Tears creates a lush, dense carpet that adds a soft, natural texture to the bottom of your aquarium. It’s one of the most sought-after carpeting plants, ideal for creating a beautiful, dense ground cover in aquascapes.

Hemianthus callitrichoides thrives in moderate to high lighting and benefits significantly from CO₂ supplementation, which encourages more compact and dense growth. This plant also requires a nutrient-rich substrate for optimal development and will need regular trimming to maintain its dense carpet-like appearance. While it grows relatively slowly, with the right care and conditions, Baby Tears will gradually form a lush, thick mat that provides stunning contrast and texture in your aquarium.

In addition to its aesthetic value, Hemianthus callitrichoides contributes to the overall health of your tank by absorbing excess nutrients and helping prevent algae growth. Its vibrant color, low-growing habit, and beautiful appearance make it an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add elegance and natural beauty to their freshwater setups.

Price is per piece (approximately 10cm x 15cm per piece).
