🌿 Dwarf Baby Tears HC Cuba (Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba', also known as Micranthemum callitrichoides)
The World's Tiniest Carpet Plant • Ultra-Fine Bright-Green Leaves • The Aquascaper's Ultimate Green Lawn
 
📋 Dwarf Baby Tears HC Cuba is the carpet plant aquascapers dream about. Its leaves are among the smallest of any aquarium plant, just a couple of millimetres across, and together they grow into a dense, bright-green lawn that hugs the substrate and flows around stones like moss on a hillside. It's the signature carpet of award-winning Iwagumi layouts and nature aquascapes, and nothing else gives the same fine, velvety finish.
It's a plant for high-tech tanks and it rewards them beautifully. With strong light, CO2 and a nutrient-rich aquasoil, it spreads quickly and evenly into a lush, low carpet. Plant it in small portions across the foreground, keep the water stable and cool, and trim it as it thickens to keep that perfect, close-cropped lawn.
It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums.
