The Baby Tears plant (Micranthemum Umbrosum) is a real eye-catcher in any aquarium and looks fantastically in the front or middle part of the tank. The Baby Tears plant is often used as a carpeting plant, covering the entirety of the aquarium floor, but can also be used in the foreground as an individual plant. This delicate plant shouldn't be underestimated, as the baby tears plant can be quite demanding in terms of lighting and care. Because of this, the Baby Tears plant is perfect for aquarium keepers have already been in the hobby for a while, looking for a slightly more challenging plant.
The Baby Tears plant is light-hungry but otherwise undemanding. Aquarists love the Baby Tears plant, primarily because of its bright green colour, which stands out beautifully from other species. The Baby Tears plant can be used for a wide range of applications and decoration, making it suitable for all types of aquariums. With increasing light intensity, the growth becomes flatter, leading to carpet growth. The plant reacts relatively quickly to inadequate lighting with holes in the leaves, and the stems become brittle. If the shoots do not receive enough light at the base, they become glabrous and can also break.
Under the right conditions, the Baby Tears plant will grow rapidly. They require lots of light to grow adequately, but other than that, they can be rather forgiving. The Baby Tears plant can grow in both slightly acidic and alkaline waters. They can also grow just fine in both hard and soft water, as long as the water is clean.

Great plant. I love the way it looks. And these were so healthy and package so well I’ll be buying more to add to all my tanks.
I liked what I got
Arrived in good condition and healthy.
Okay sooo, I know it’s not the fanciest or whatever but I love it!! It’s super vibrant green!!! Like it’s magical green. My shrimp love it! It did arrive a smashed but with some TLC it quickly perked up. When I say quickly I mean quickly!!, like within a few days it quickly came to live and was just beautiful
These baby tears arrived in perfect shape, I planted one in the container they came in and then planted the other directly into the substrate amd both are doing amazingly a month later!! All the plants I've bought from these guys so far have been very high quality, and packed extremely well. Would buy again!
