Micranthemum sp. 'Baby Dwarf Tears'

Micranthemum sp. 'Baby Dwarf Tears' is a species of uncertain taxonomic origin that closely resembles Hemianthus callitrichoides but produces slightly rounder, more teardrop-shaped leaves. Like HC Cuba it requires high light and CO2 to maintain a creeping carpet habit, and without these conditions the stems grow upward rather than laterally. It is an advanced-hobbyist carpet plant rewarding those who can provide its demanding conditions with an absolutely exquisite, jewel-like foreground display.
