Micranthemum umbrosum (Bunched)

Micranthemum umbrosum, also known as Baby Tears, is a delicate aquarium plant valued for its small, bright green leaves and spreading growth habit. Originating from North America, it typically grows to a height of 10-15 cm, making it suitable for foreground to midground planting in aquariums. Its tiny, round leaves create a dense carpet effect when grown in clusters, providing a natural and attractive appearance to aquascapes. Micranthemum umbrosum thrives in moderate to high lighting and nutrient-rich water conditions. With proper care, it forms lush mats of foliage, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and depth to planted tanks. Regular trimming helps maintain its compact growth and prevents overgrowth. Micranthemum umbrosum is a popular choice among aquarists for creating lush and vibrant underwater landscapes.
