Hemianthus micranthemoides, is an elegant North American plant with petite, arching leaves that resemble a miniature form of Egeria. It is commonly called Micranthemum micranthemoides, pearl grass, and pearl weed. Having said that, Micranthemum micranthemoides was the previous name for this plant.
Hemianthus micranthemoides TC – IC022 can be used as a foreground plant because of their unique trailing growth in bright light (stems from 10-20 cm tall, 2-3 cm wide). With its small, light-green leaves, a compact bunch of Hemianthus micranthemoides is rather lovely. The plant makes a compact cushion in terrariums.
To help them propagate, the ends of the stems should be trimmed, grouped, and then planted together in the substrate. This is done so that the plant does not get concealed by other foliage.
CO₂ isn’t essential, but it’s a good idea. It can handle a wide range of pH levels. So, if you want ultra-dense growth then use high light and CO₂.
A classic Nature Aquarium plant that is often used by Mr. Amano. With intense light and trimming, Hemianthus micranthemoides forms a compact bush with small light green leaves.
Care Tips
- They require a tropical water temperature of 68-82° F (20-28° C), a KH of 0-10, and a pH of 5.0-7.5.
- Surface water current should not force the leaves to sink or overly bump into the aquarium’s side if used as a floating plant.
Tissue culture plants are young aquatic plants that are developed in-vitro in aquatic plant propagation laboratories. This unique cultivation ensures these plants are devoid of undesired snails, algae, and pesticides, making them completely safe for even the most delicate fish and shrimp species. We offer a diverse range of tissue cultured aquarium plant varieties. Our cultures provide substantial planting portions, and when combined with high-quality fertilizers and CO₂ injection will grow into healthy aquatic plants. Just lower the root portion of the tissue culture's clump that needs to be planted directly into the soil until it is buried halfway into the aquatic soil.Plant Format
