Care Tips: Micranthemum umbrosum, also known as Baby Tears, is a delicate stem plant with small, round leaves that grow densely. It prefers nutrient-rich substrates and consistent CO₂ injection for optimal growth, especially in high-tech setups. Regular trimming promotes bushy, carpet-like growth. Avoid shading from taller plants to prevent legginess.
