About pearl weed

Pearl weed has small, light green leaves on fine, branching stems. It is very versatile: left alone it grows into a bush, and trimmed regularly it forms a dense carpet or low hedge. It grows fast and helps keep algae down by using up excess nutrients.

• Lighting: Medium to high
• CO2: Helpful but not essential

Most aquarium plants are grown above water at the nursery, so some leaves may melt in the first weeks while new submerged growth appears. Plant into a nutrient-rich substrate or add root tabs, and keep the temperature between 22 and 28°C.
