    Great video I have this plant in UK. I get clumps I've trimmed and put a little strip of lead around it and the drop into position simple it then grows and u don't see the thin strip of lead after a week and it just spreads. Dot them about the tank and let it get on with it mi e looks great no co2 either 👍

    @Mrmomtanks > I have Pearl growing in my Fluval spec 5, using C02 dosing, Osmocote plus in the substrate (eco-complete) and a Finnex Fugeray Planted+ 16 light. I did nearly the same thing you did, but instead of tieing to some base, I clumped clippings in vertical groups, loosely wrapped short lengths of black cotton thread around the base (1/8" up) and planted those about 1" apart all over the place, and they started pearling right away, runners growing every which way, and in one week had to trim about 2" of growth. I also have flame moss tied to spiderwood (same thread method, but knotted), and they grow much faster w/C02, but only vertically. Spread is still very slow, but new growth in the substrate is everywhere. My background Oriental swords grew new roots very quickly when 1st planted, but grow slowly otherwise.

    This video is great. I love your no b/s, not so tedious method. I'll just have to find a supplier for such now as I'm not having the best of luck with hair grass.

  • @briansfishtanks
    @briansfishtanks 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good tip. I've been planting stems in my 5 gal fish tank and not clumps. Didn't even think of that. Next trimming, I'll be tying a clump to something. Clumpmania!

    pearlweed looks really nice, but how can you do effective water change?

  • @blackclover240
    @blackclover240 9 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    with a well established carpet, do you ever touch the substrate when doing weekly water changes? How does vacuuming the substrate work (I don't have a plant carpet and use gravel)?

    • @noobguy57
      @noobguy57 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I know this is an old comment, but to anyone who stumbles upon it, in a planted tank you don't want to vacuum the substrate. Imagine the substrate like a recycling bin and a garden! Fish poop and decaying matter will get recycled and broken down by the substrate. Best not to disturb that process!

    Hemianthus Micranthemoides a.k.a pearl weed is the easiest and fastest carpeting plant in my opinion. Just need good light.

    Wow the pearlweed is amazing. Friends keep telling me the lighting is one of the most important things for the planted aquarium. I keep getting recommend to look at the Lumiy Lightline LED lamp. Suppose to be super bright lamp, and at under $50 very affordable (plus LED so low running costs).

  • @NOWORRYS08

    Question sir: Can I put Fluorite in the front for the pearled and then use Miracle grow in other areas. And then also put Aqua Soil on one side to raise it up like a hill...
    Can we mix different soils in different areas of the tank? Not mix on top or together, but next to each other... ?

    Hello, can you please help me? I am in a big dilemma. Pearlweed is classified as a hard plant in tropica.com. But it conquered my tank fully. On the other hand anubias, java fern or even java moss which are classified as easy plants melt with time. I am so sad about this issue. Can you please give an idea why that happens?

  • @AlcesAnimals
    @AlcesAnimals 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Pearl weed is most likely Hemianthus glomeratus, a native of Florida. True Hemianthus micranthemoides probably does not exist in the hobby and has not been seen in the wild since the 1940s. Baby tears are Hemianthus callitrichoides. There's also another form in the hobby that has not been scientifically described, a two-lobe plant sometimes called "Amano pearl grass."

  • @ChinAMAPutatoDragun
    @ChinAMAPutatoDragun 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is it possible to do this with just liquid carbon? This plant was a stowaway in a bunch of moss I bought and since then it has grew into a massive bush.

    • @ChinAMAPutatoDragun
      @ChinAMAPutatoDragun 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nevermind, it will only grow up and not out if there is no CO2. Grows extremely fast though...

    Hemianthus glomeratus. However, you have the two leaf variety, "Amano pearl weed" which has not been scientifically described as of yet. I'm not sure why this is not a begginer plant. It's always been quite invasive for me, even in my low tech tanks.
