Micranthemum Umbrosum

[Ryan2829]

Im new this, i currently doing a fish-less cycle. My wife bought me a plant to go in the tank. She didnt know what it was called. So i check this site and found it was called Micranthemum umbrosum

Can anyone give me some information about the planet please e.g is it a good starter plant.

Thanks
Ryan

Baby tears. I actually bought some about two days ago (dwarf kind). Makes a beautiful carpet, can be let to float, or I've heard it can stem and grow upwards. Needs moderate light and if co2 is injected it can pearl beautifully. Good starter plant and like I said can make a truly beautiful carpet. Looks like you already got some runners so you must be off to a good start. O and you might want to try to plan the individual plantlets for a nice carpet, instead of in a big clump.
