This plant goes by many names, Baby Tears, Pearl weed, Pearl grass; nonetheless, it is a beautiful plant!
Pearl weed is a fast growing plant that often grows in a bush with proper lights, nutrients, and CO2. This plant can survive in low tech settings but will require a proper nutrient schedule and high lights.
Pearl weed is often used as a carpeting plant because of it’s fast and small growth. To do this you’ll want to constantly trim it back and replant it to acquire a lush carpet, once established it will just need trimming much like dwarf baby tears!
This plant grows wild in the US; pearlweed is endemic to Florida.
You’ll receive the desired number of stems, or a potted portion. Potted portions provide a medium for the plant to root in, thus ready to go, roots and all!
Instructions for potted plants:
To remove the roots from the pot, gently break off the rock wool and fishing combing the roots with a fork, if the roots appear to be too delicate like in some species, keep doing so by hand.
Find small balls in your rockwool? Don’t be alarmed, these are NUTRIENT capsules! Bonus, they’re free of copper so they won’t harm invertebrates. These nutrient capsules allow for more robust root growth, and an overall healthier plant. Feel free to dispose of them along with the rockwool once you’ve separated your plant!
