Perfect for freshwater aquariums, it thrives under bright lighting and moderate care, creating a lush green carpet that offers natural shelter and foraging grounds for fish and invertebrates. Its easy propagation via runners and cuttings makes it a must-have for aquascaping enthusiasts seeking a vibrant, healthy underwater ecosystem. ## Description Dwarf Baby Tears plant drapes your aquarium with elegant leaf clusters. The smallest of known aquarium plants, Hemianthus callitrichoides is an ideal foreground plant. If regularly pruned, this bright green South American native can also be floated at the water's surface. Either way, it creates the ideal location for spawning fish to hide their eggs and active bottom dwellers to forage for food. Native to Cuba, Dwarf Baby Tears will eventually form a dense carpet over your aquarium substrate when planted. Some plants take time to establish themselves; however, once ideal conditions are met, this plant fills in well. For optimal health, H. callitrichoides requires bright, direct lighting and a rich nutrient base. Provided lighting and nutrient criteria are met, Dwarf Baby Tears is generally not finicky about care. The plant propagates via runners that branch off of the root area. Cuttings from a mature plant can also be repotted and positioned in other areas of your aquarium. Care Level: Moderate Lighting: High Placement: Foreground Water Conditions: 68-82° F, KH 0-10, pH 5.0-7.5 Propagation: Cuttings, Runners Max. Size: 6" Color Form: Green Review: Will buy again. Wash gel off, place in tank :) - This Drawf arrived on time, alive and well. It was still wet and a little gel was attached to the bottom, I think for travel, Rinse that off but not rough and placed in tank. It doesn't sink so a rock helped, but it looks it's going great. Will buy much more! Review: Probably not for bioactive terrariums - Chat GBT recommended these for a bioactive terrarium and they almost immediately didn't make it. I suspect these are more geared towards aquariums. Products showed up healthy and in good shape however. ## Features - You get one Tissued Cultured Dwarf Baby Tears in a 2 inch container.

Wash gel off, place in tank :) *by P***N on April 25, 2020* This Drawf arrived on time, alive and well. It was still wet and a little gel was attached to the bottom, I think for travel, Rinse that off but not rough and placed in tank. It doesn't sink so a rock helped, but it looks it's going great. Will buy much more! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Probably not for bioactive terrariums *by S***G on December 30, 2025* Chat GBT recommended these for a bioactive terrarium and they almost immediately didn't make it. I suspect these are more geared towards aquariums. Products showed up healthy and in good shape however. ### ⭐ Not rooted plants, just clippings set in growing gel. *by S***T on May 2, 2020* These were not grown in the gel, they were cut and placed in the gel, there are no roots and will require a long time before being able to remove from the cups. These are not rooted plans, just clippings. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/54177783-tissue-cultured-dwarf-baby-tears-grown-in-vitro-100-chemical](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/54177783-tissue-cultured-dwarf-baby-tears-grown-in-vitro-100-chemical) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-18*
