Tropica Hemianthus micranthemoides CUP

Hemianthus micranthemoides or delicate pearl herb can no longer be found in nature, it only forms its attractive carpets in aquariums. The river banks of North America used to be their home. It absolutely needs sufficient light, otherwise it will shoot up and get dark spots. In addition to an increased light requirement, it is very adaptable and delights aquascaping fans with its rapid growth. It feels very comfortable in the well-lit middle distance and remains at a height of around 5cm. Especially in deep, hilly backdrops, its lush green and delicate structure are very appealing.

• Light requirement: good to intense
• Optimal temperature: 20 to 28°C - tolerant
• Water values: very soft to very hard - very tolerant
• pH value: 5 to 8 - tolerant
• Propagation: cuttings

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
