Although the dwarf pearl belongs to stemmed aquatic plants, the stems are not upright, but crawl and grow at the bottom, which is a beautiful decorative foreground grass. It usually grows less than 2 centimeters tall in strong light, but it can grow very thickly. Green stolons with short root tissue, opposite spoon leaves ca. 8 mm long and ca. 3 mm wide. Because the creeping branches will spread and eventually cover the whole bed, and the leaves on the creeping branches grow densely and feel like a lawn. Generally, when planting dwarf pearls, it is necessary to avoid that the soft fine roots can not be smoothly attached to the bottom sand, so the fine sand should be used as far as possible in the choice of bottom sand, and it will be better to use seaweed mud. The lawn must be pruned if it is more than 2 cm thick, otherwise the stems and leaves below will whiten and rot due to lack of light, seriously causing the whole turf to float.

There are surprises here.
