Pearl Weed (Micranthemum Micranthemoides)
NOTE: The photos labeled "AS OF 5/2/23" is what the plant looks like that you will receive.
THESE ARE FIRE, They are potted in house and ready to ROCK in your tank!.
This is an EASY Foreground plant.
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 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!
Nice beautiful clump! I was able to split it in two and still have two very nice clumps. Dustin's never disappoints!
I was expecting a larger portion to come but ended up getting less than half of what's pictured. What came was also yellowed. Disappointing.
I ordered 2 & they came all busted apart and scattered in the bag
I salvaged a small portion; hopefully enough to start growing
Usually the plants come well proportioned & ready to plant
Arrived looking just like the picture. Great quality!
