Pearl Weed

Pearl weed is a great plant for sucking up nitrites. It grows rather quickly especially when letting it grow vertically. We usually float Pearl Weed for a week or two to let it get some extra light. 

You will receive 1 bunch or pot of Pearl Weed. Usually, a bunch will include between 6 to 8 pieces depending on the length of the stems.
