Description
The tiniest little leaves are perfect for Iwagumi landscapes! Hemianthus Callitrichoides 'Dwarf Baby Tears' is a classic carpeting plant native to the Caribbean. It has similar growth needs & behaviors to Monte Carlo & Glossostigma. Perfect for a higher-tech setup, Dwarf Baby Tears grows quickly & densely with appropriate high lighting, co2 & fertilizers. You'll love the dense carpet of these tiny leaves. Potted for an excellent starter carpet. Just snip away the Rockwool, & place in your substrate! Dwarf Baby Tears arrives 1-2" tall, potted. EMERGENT Grown Growing Suggestions: High light needs, Co2 Recommended! 60-80F Fast, low/ creeping growth rate, 1-2" high Root tabs recommended: Yes Excellent forage & shelter! Cassandra's Notes: Similarly to Glosso, & Monte Carlo, Dwarf Baby tears will start to yellow & become leggy without enough light & fertilizer. You'll definitely need to keep trimming for this plant to look it's best! As the roots can be very weak & delicate, I'd suggest setting aside quite some time to get this planted. Expect that you'll need to re-plant runaway segments! Long, delicate tweezers help. I've had some minor success sprinkling a very thin layer of sand over a carpet I'm trying to establish. Not enough to smother, or block any light, but just enough to weigh the plant down until it gets established into the substrate. Very delicate roots!
