Pearl Weed (Hemianthus Micranthemoides)

Pearl Weed (Hemianthus Micranthemoides) is a popular freshwater aquarium plant prized for its delicate, small round leaves and lush, vibrant green color. Often used as a foreground or midground plant, it can be trimmed to form compact carpets or allowed to grow upright into soft, bushy clusters.

This versatile species grows quickly under moderate to high light and benefits from nutrient-rich substrate and CO₂ supplementation, though it can adapt to lower-tech setups with regular maintenance. Pearl Weed provides excellent oxygenation and serves as natural shelter for shrimp and fry.

Ideal for both novice and advanced aquascapers, Pearl Weed brings a fresh, natural look to planted tanks and complements a variety of aquascape styles.
