Hemianthus Micranthemoides: Versatile and Beautiful

Elevate the beauty of your freshwater aquarium with Hemianthus Micranthemoides, a versatile and visually appealing aquatic plant. Commonly known as pearlweed, this plant adds a touch of elegance to any aquatic setup with its lush green foliage and delicate appearance.

Care Guide for Hemianthus Micranthemoides

Hemianthus Micranthemoides is relatively easy to care for, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists. Follow these care guidelines to ensure the health and vitality of your pearlweed:

  • Lighting: Provide moderate to high lighting levels of 3-4 watts per gallon to promote compact growth and vibrant coloration.
  • Temperature: Maintain water temperatures between 20-26°C (68-79°F) for optimal growth.
  • pH: Keep pH levels in the range of 6.0-7.5 to ensure healthy growth and development.
  • Substrate: Use a nutrient-rich substrate to provide essential nutrients for robust growth. Hemianthus Micranthemoides can also be grown as a carpeting plant in fine-grained substrates like sand or aquasoil.
  • CO2 and Nutrients: Supplement CO2 and essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to promote lush, healthy growth. Regular fertilization with liquid or substrate fertilizers is recommended.
  • Pruning: Trim Hemianthus Micranthemoides regularly to maintain its desired shape and prevent overcrowding. Pruning encourages lateral growth and helps to create a dense carpeting effect in the aquarium.
  • Propagation: Propagate pearlweed by carefully cutting stems and replanting them in the substrate. Alternatively, allow the plant to send out runners, which can be trimmed and replanted to create new growth.

  • Temperature: 20-26°C (68-79°F)

Willing To Help!

100% satisfied with the service I received. I am new to the hobby and Leo took the time to answer any questions I had and even suggested a few products to help my plants thrive in their new home without harming any live stock.

Great Local Business

I have been in contact with the store since January in order to get the right selection of plants. Even with the pandemic and lack of supplies they were able to get my full selection which was pretty big. The quality of Tropica plants are impeccable. They answered all my questions and help me out with many tips regarding how to best plant my selection. If you wish to support a local business and get the best selection of plants 100% recommend using Aquascaperoom Canada.

Amazing Service

Great service. On time Toronto pick-up. Received a follow-up email from Leo the next day asking about my satisfaction with their products and service. That doesn't happen everyday and it was very much appreciated. I will buy from Aquascaperoom again soon.

Best Customer Service!

Such an amazing customer service. I ordered a few plants and some didnt look too good. I contacted them and they responded quickly. They took time to help me and walked me through what to do with the plants. They are very kind and understanding. I will be purchasing more from them in the future.

I’ve been using live plants in my aquariums for a little over two years. I get a lot of them from the aquascaperoom website. I have never had any problems, all the plants arrive very healthy and I bought their fertilizer tablets and liquid fertilizer and both are amazing for helping keep my plants healthy. They got so much variety on the website and the shipping is amazing. I can’t recommend them enough, you won’t be sorry you bought plants from this amazing business.

Express Shipping with DOA!

The customer service here was absolutely above and beyond! I had 2 items arrive in not so good health but that probably happened during shipping and not because of the company, regardless I was refunded the 110% store credit for the items. Everything was well packed upon my next order and even came with a 72hr heat pack for the plants! I will do a lot more shopping here and will recommend it to anyone! Thank you Aquascaperoom!
