Description
Baby Tears on Lava Rock
Baby Tears originate from West Africa. The plant's leaves are thick, oval-shaped, and small. Baby Tears' bright green colors contrast particularly well against dark backgrounds.
Care & Maintenance
Baby Tears are tolerant of a wide range of water conditions, hardness, and pH. Baby Tears will undoubtedly look their best under ideal conditions which include good light and substrate as well as proper fertilization.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate-High
- Temperature Range: 68-82°F
- Tank Placement: Foreground, Midground
Baby Tears is an ideal foreground plant and should be planted in open areas where it can have good access to the light source. It can also be attached to hard surfaces such as rocks and wood. It will look best if kept short and compact with regular pruning, using sharp aquascaping scissors.
Dwarf Baby Tears are also availbe on Coco Fiber.

Fish love it
Posted by Anne Simmons on 8 Sep 2022This looks great in the tank, and my fish love it. I’ve let it grow out about an inch/inch and a half. It provides good cover for small fish and invertebrates.

My favorite plant
Posted by Vicky Gallman on 19 Aug 2021I wasn’t sure about getting a plant already growing on a lava Rick but this has turned out to be my favorite plant in my tank! I only wish I would have gotten more!

Looks really good.
Posted by Joseph Krakowski on 6 Jul 2021They came well package. Have a nice green color to them. One day in my aquarium and they looked beautiful. The lave rock sets it off. My snails like sitting on the lava rock. Good investment for my aquarium.
