Pearl weed is a bright green plant with delicate stems and small, oblong leaves. While it looks similar to baby tears, its leaves are more elongated and less circular in shape. It thrives under medium to high light conditions and provides excellent cover for small fish and shrimp. It can be kept as a midground plant if trimmed short or as a background plant if allowed to grow out.
Perfect for Jungle Aquariums
Pearl weed is the perfect plant for creating a jungle look in your planted aquarium. Its small, oblong leaves and long, delicate stems can quickly fill in your tank when given plenty of light and Easy Green fertilizer. Just snip off the tops and replant them in the ground for easy propagation.
How We Grow and Store Our Plants
We store all of our plants in aquariums with plenty of light and fertilizer to start converting their leaves. This picture is from our warehouse. Not all vendors store their plants in water; many store them out of water in bags straight from the farms. This is more time without light and doesn't give them a head start in growing underwater leaves.
We Include Heat Packs and Liners Free of Charge
We have a custom-developed algorithm to include heat packs and insulating plant liners as needed, based on the weather forecast from our warehouse to your shipping address. This helps keep plants at stable temperatures, both in hot and cold weather. Other vendors typically charge you at checkout for a heat pack. We include them when needed free of charge because it's our job to deliver our plants to your door healthy.
I was surprised at how delicate this plant was (thin stem and small leaves), but it didn't act delicate at all. What I mean is that it arrived very healthy and didn't experience any melting or dying in the tank. It isn't growing as fast as I'd like and isn't filling in as well as I expected, but that isn't the fault of Aquarium Co-Op. I'd buy this plant again in a heartbeat.
