Hemianthus micranthemoides, commonly known as 'Pearl Weed,' is a striking plant that hails from North America.

Appearance

Its delicate, arched leaves give it a charming resemblance to a miniature version of Egeria plant.

Lighting and Fertilization

When exposed to intense light, it showcases its distinctive trailing growth, making it an ideal choice for a foreground plant, with its slender stems reaching heights of 10-20 cm and widths of 2-3 cm. A tightly clustered arrangement of Hemianthus micranthemoides is a sight to behold, thanks to its dainty, light-green leaves.

In terrariums, this plant creates a compact and lush cushion, adding a touch of natural elegance. It is worth noting that this plant was previously known as Micranthemum micranthemoides.
