Baby Tears / Micranthemum umbrosum or Hemianthus micranthemoides

Hemianthus micranthemoidesis nice ornamental plant in small aquaria which looks much like a 'mini' Egeria. It is fast growing and requires therefore relatively high light and a nutrient rich substrate. It is also a valuable plant in terraria where it forms a beautiful carpet at the land water interphase. The plant is easily reproduced by cutting offthe apex which is replanted in the substrate. Hemianthus micranthemoides is often sold for Micranthemum umbrosum and a widespread synonym for Hemianthus micranthemoides is Micranthemum micranthemoides.

Cryptocoryne parva

Cryptocoryne parva is the smallest of all Cryptocorynes. It is one of the few species that does not significantly change its leaf shape and colour depending on cultivation conditions. It needs more light than most other Cryptocorynes because it almost loses its leaf blade under water. So it must never be overshadowed by other plants. Individual plants should be planted a few centimetres apart, and after about six months they will form a cohesive low group of plants. Recommended for foreground planting.

Cryptocoryne pontederiifolia RARE

Cyperus helferi

 
Cyperus helferi is the first Cyperus species to prove truly ideal for the aquarium. Discovered by Holger Windeløv of  Tropica Aqurium Plants, Denmark, during an expedition to the Southern part of Thailand South of Ranong, the plant inhabited a small, clear-water stream, being present both in the current itself and along the more placid margin.

Itis very graceful as a solitary plant as well as ingroups. CO2 enrichment enhancesthe growth significantly but in hard water it is liableto develop algae on the oldest leaves. .
