Transform your aquarium into a lush, vibrant underwater paradise with Pearl Weed, scientifically known as Hemianthus Micranthemoides. This captivating aquatic plant is a favorite among aquarists for its delicate appearance and versatile nature, making it an essential addition to any aquascape. Available in three convenient options Rooted In 2 Inch Pot, 4 Ounce Portion Cup, and 3 Pack Potted you can choose the perfect variation to suit your aquarium’s needs.

Aesthetic Appeal:

Pearl Weed is celebrated for its small, rounded leaves that create a beautiful, dense carpet effect when planted en masse. Its bright green hue adds a refreshing pop of color to your aquarium, enhancing the visual appeal and providing a natural, serene environment for your aquatic life. Whether you're aiming for a minimalist design or a densely planted aquascape, Pearl Weed is the perfect choice to achieve your desired look.

Variations to Suit Your Aquascaping Style:

• Rooted In 2 Inch Pot: Comes in a convenient pot, ensuring easy placement and rooting in your aquarium. Perfect for those who prefer an established base for growth.
• 4 Ounce Portion Cup: A flexible option for creating customized layouts. Use it to plant patches or build a denser carpet effect depending on your aquascaping vision.
• 3 Pack Potted: Ideal for larger setups or aquariums where a more dramatic midground effect is needed. This version offers a denser plant cluster, perfect for filling in larger areas.

Versatile Growth:

One of the standout features of Pearl Weed is its adaptability. It can be used in various aquascaping styles, from creating lush carpets in the foreground to adding texture and depth as a midground plant. Its ability to grow both submerged and emersed makes it an excellent choice for aquariums and paludariums alike. With the right care, Pearl Weed can even be trained to grow vertically, adding a unique dimension to your aquascape.

Care and Maintenance:

Pearl Weed is relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists. It thrives in a range of water conditions, with a preference for slightly acidic to neutral pH levels (6.0-7.5) and temperatures between 68-82°F (20-28°C). While it can grow in low light conditions, providing moderate to high lighting will encourage denser growth and more vibrant coloration.

• Rooted In 2 Inch Pot: Once planted, ensure it has consistent moderate lighting for a lush, compact carpet effect.
• 4 Ounce Portion Cup: Spread out smaller portions across the aquarium for a natural, gradual coverage.
• 3 Pack Potted: This larger version requires trimming for vertical or horizontal growth based on your aquascaping goals.

Regular trimming is recommended to maintain its compact shape and promote healthy new growth. You can easily propagate Pearl Weed by cutting and replanting stems, making it an effortless way to expand your aquascape.

Ecological Benefits:

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Pearl Weed offers numerous ecological benefits. Its dense growth provides excellent shelter and hiding spots for small fish and invertebrates, creating a safe and stress-free environment. Additionally, like all aquatic plants, Pearl Weed plays a crucial role in maintaining water quality by absorbing excess nutrients and producing oxygen, contributing to a balanced and healthy ecosystem.

Compatibility:

Pearl Weed is compatible with a wide range of aquatic species, including peaceful community fish, shrimps, and snails. Its soft, delicate leaves are generally not favored by herbivorous species, making it a safe choice for planted tanks with plant-eating inhabitants.

Aquascaping Tips:

• Foreground Carpet: For a stunning carpet effect, plant Pearl Weed densely in the foreground.
• Midground Texture: Use Pearl Weed to add texture and contrast in the midground.
• Vertical Growth: Trim the top stems and allow the plant to grow upwards for a striking, unique underwater landscape.
