Pearlweed (Aquarium Plant)
Pearlweed (scientific name: Micranthemum micranthemoides) is a very popular freshwater aquarium plant because it grows fast and can form a thick green carpet.
Key Facts • Growth: Fast • Light: Medium to high (low light works but slower) • CO₂: Not required but helps it grow dense • Temperature: ~68–82°F (20–28°C) • Height: 2–12 inches depending on trimming
Why People Like It • Easy for beginners • Can grow as a foreground carpet or mid-ground bush • Great for shrimp and small fish tanks • Recovers quickly after trimming
How to Plant\
- Separate into small stems (3–6 stems per clump).\
- Plant about 1 inch apart in substrate.\
- Trim the tops regularly to encourage side growth and carpeting.
In Low-Tech Tanks
Pearlweed works well without CO₂, but: • It grows taller instead of carpeting. • Regular trimming helps keep it short and bushy.
Good Tank Mates • Shrimp 🦐 • Guppies • White cloud minnows • Medaka rice fish
