Pearl Weed (Micranthemum Micranthemoides) As it's name implies- it grows like a weed.
This is 100% a foreground plant that can be cut down as low or let grow as tall as you would like.
IF YOU WANT A CARPET- TRY THIS PLANT- It is just a super solid pot to start with AGAIN- we pot and grow this in house. Just plant it, maybe cut it down to your desired height, give it a second and it will FLY all over. (You can see in our "in house" photos how it all took off.)
Pearl Weed is a great for shrimp tanks as they seem to enjoy climbing all over it. It also grows so dense that smaller baby shrimp can hide in it.
This plant will grow like crazy with a good substrate. We recommend our own "Dustin's Dirt Packs" as this is what we are growing it in our greenhouse.
Under regular gravel it will still grow, just not as rapidly.
Customer Reviews
I love this, it was a bit difficult to deal with but I got it done in about 3 hours. I planted a nearly full carpet that will spread nicely in a 55 gal. This is a legit deal, you can’t get this much carpet for $20 anywhere.
roots were hard to find so i tore it in chunks and stuffed it in the gravel. Hope it takes root.
Orders the $20 chunk and wasn’t disappointed. Came in great shape and more than I actually needed/could plant.
It came alive and in good condition. It just didn’t have as much roots as I expected. I think it will be okay and continue to grow.
I was excited to receive my two pots of pear weed. They arrived so well packaged and in perfect condition. I was surprised to find that most of it looked like clippings, very few roots. I’m hoping that doesn’t stop them from growing well, from what I’ve researched the clippings usually take root. A little disappointed based on what I paid for, but still feeling hopeful. They also sent extra of a completely different plant which was thoughtful. The only problem is my plan was to dry start the pear weed and the extra plant they sent was a stem plant; hopefully it survives!
