Baby tears is known for its delicate, small, round leaves that add interesting textures and contrasts nicely against larger-leafed plants. This relatively easy-to-grow, medium light stem plant makes a great foreground to midground plant due to its smaller size. If left untrimmed, baby tears can grow up to a foot tall, so make sure to trim it often to encourage low, bushy growth.
Delicate, Little Leaves
Baby tears is known for its little, round leaves and long, delicate stems. When given plenty of light and Easy Green fertilizer, it can grow quite thick and bushy, perfect for hiding nano fish, fry, and cherry shrimp.
Note: this species is slightly bigger than dwarf baby tears (Micranthemum callitrichoides, formerly Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba').
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.
Ordered on Nov 1, delivered Nov 6, plant survived. Plant was yellow, id imagine from being in a box for nearly a week and starting to turn into an albino version but other than that it was healthy, it is now growing new green leaves from the yellowing stem that I need to cut.

Outstanding quality
I was so happy when my order arrived. The plants were vibrant and in great condition and the packaging was enough to keep them safe from the elements. My fish love them too! Will definitely be purchasing more later! 10/10 would recommend.
