hi all, ive been reading up on some of the smaller groundcovers, and it came across to me that my dwarf baby tears may not like being in gravel and would rather be on wood or on a rock. is this true ?

no, it has to be in the substrate, why have you titled this topic as hemanthius callacthriciodes?

Because Hemianthus callitrichoides is also known as Dwarf Baby Tears.

Give us a picture of your so called Dwarf baby tears because there are around 3 plants that people call Baby tears.

Hemianthus callitrichoides needs Good lights,Co2,ferts,good substrate.


What substrate do you have?

Thanks, i didn't know that. Micranthemum umbrosum is what i know to be baby tears so i though dwarf baby tears was just a smaller version.
