The variety is known as dwarf baby tears and was first discovered several years ago in a stream on the island of Cuba. This is the smallest aquarium plant you can buy, with leaves just a few millimeters wide. It is an extremely adaptable plant in terms of water softness and hardness, but it is vital to provide good light levels and a generous CO2 supply. Plants that develop above water can be divided into small portions and planted. In a few weeks you will get a lush foreground cushion. Aquascape designs combining dwarf baby tears with various stones look both decorative and natural. Try planting Hemianthus with a red or purple plant as a contrasting accent.
