Baby Tears
"Soleirolia soleirolii"
Description
A lush, low-growing carpet of tiny round leaves on delicate trailing stems. Forms a soft green mat — beautiful spilling over pot edges, in terrariums, or as ground cover. Loves humidity and moisture.
Sun Needs
Bright, indirect light to partial shade. Protect from direct sun, which dries and burns the fine foliage.
Water Needs
Keep consistently moist but never waterlogged. Water when the surface begins to feel slightly dry — it wilts quickly when too dry but bounces back fast once watered. Thrives in high humidity.
Repotting Instructions
Repot in spring as it fills its container. Use a rich, moisture-retentive potting mix. Easily divided — pull apart sections and replant to propagate.
