Pink Baby Tears

Pink Baby Tears is an attractive aquarium plant known for its delicate leaves and beautiful pink to reddish colouration when grown under suitable conditions. Its compact growth and vibrant colouring provide excellent contrast against green aquarium plants, making it a great choice for planted aquariums and aquascapes.

This versatile stem plant can be used through the midground or background depending on how it is trimmed and maintained. With good lighting and adequate nutrients, new growth can develop stronger pink and red tones, creating an eye-catching feature in the aquarium.

Planting & Maintenance

Plant individual stems into a nutrient-rich aquarium substrate, leaving a small amount of space between each stem to encourage healthy growth and good water circulation.

Regular trimming will help produce a denser, bushier appearance. Healthy stem cuttings can be replanted into the substrate to expand the group or create a fuller aquascape.

For the strongest pink colouration, provide good-quality aquarium lighting and consistent nutrients. CO₂ supplementation can encourage faster, more compact growth and improved colour.
