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?

As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there’s always a chance of harmless hitchhikers like snails or dwarf shrimp tagging along with your plants!

I personally keep several beneficial snail species in my tanks, including Colorful Ramshorns, Bronze Bladder and Pond Snails, Mini Rams, and Malaysian Trumpet Snails. These snails stay relatively small, help clean the aquarium, and do not eat healthy plants or cause harm. However, if you’d rather avoid any hitchhikers, I highly recommend checking out our blog on how to safely disinfect aquarium plants before adding them to your tank:
How to Bleach Dip Aquarium Plants Safely

All plants are freshly snipped or harvested and packed right before shipment. I take great care in preparing every order and use methods that have consistently produced the best results over many years in the hobby. A lot of love goes into every package, so please don’t leave your plants sitting in a hot mailbox for too long 🙏

Thank you for looking, aqua friends! 💚
