A beautiful plant with small round leaves. It is suitable for small or large aquariums. Relatively demanding in terms of light. CO2 addition a plus to promote growth. Once the plant starts growing it grows fast, and the shoots have to be pinched out often (can be planted as cuttings in the bottom). Most beautiful in groups of many stems. (Now also available in "pots", see our "potted plants" section)

Note: Not to be confused with: "Giant" Baby Tears(Micranthemum umbrosum)
