Planting & Care Tips

Divide Pearl Weed into small portions and plant individual stems in suitable aquarium substrate, leaving enough space between them to spread and root.

Provide suitable lighting, balanced nutrients and stable water conditions. Stronger lighting and CO₂ supplementation encourage dense, low-growing carpets, while lower-light setups generally produce taller, bushier growth.

Trim the plant regularly to maintain your desired shape and prevent the lower stems from becoming shaded. Healthy stem cuttings can be replanted to expand the carpet or create a lush green midground.
