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.
Great addition to my tank! Came way healthier than I expected! Shipped fast and arrived in good condition!

Great Pearl Weed / young plant
Pearl Weed looked great when it arrived. However, it was a very young, small plant with delicate leaves. My guppies and platies picked it apart clean a week later. Was hoping for a more grown plant as I was sent and with orders from this site.

There's no plant here to even review.
I ordered a decent group of plants including Pearl weed last week, all the others arrived in decent shape but this is what I got for Pearl weed.... I am beyond disappointed.

Good pearlweed
It took a couple days to get delivered but the pearl weed was still alive. Looked a bit wilted but bounced back once placed in aquarium for a couple days. I received decently sized plants, maybe 2 1/2 in tall. Would buy again

Plants came in dead
I initially ordered 2 pots of pearlweed, both of which came in extremely small and practically dead. After getting a replacement, the new ones were even worse and there was no plant even in the pot to recover. Customer service was great but this product isn't one I can recommend

Didn't make it more than a day
The USPS took an extra day to deliver this plant and I think that may be why it met it's demise.. but it basically dissolved in my tank within a couple days. I have a lot of plants thriving in my tank so I don't think it's my water quality. Possibly a postal problem but I can't give a good review since it didn't even last over the weekend.

Sad
I know better than to expect bushy pearl weed or long roots ( that just isn't this plant), but come on!
