DESCRIPTION

Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba' (HC)

Introduction:

Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba', commonly referred to as HC, is one of the smallest and most prized carpeting plants in the aquascaping world. Originating from Cuba, this delicate species is known for its tiny, bright green leaves and dense, low-growing form, making it ideal for creating lush, compact carpets in the foreground. When provided with the right conditions, HC forms a vibrant, cushion-like lawn. Delivered in tissue culture format, this Ready to Grow HC is sterile and free from algae, snails, and pests—making it an excellent choice for clean and healthy aquascape setups.

Care Requirements:

  • Water Parameters:
    Temperature: 20–28 °C
    pH Range: 5.0–7.0
    Water Hardness: Soft to medium (1–8 dGH)

  • Nutrient Requirements:
    Demands high lighting, CO₂ injection, and nutrient-rich water for compact growth. Regular dosing with micro- and macronutrients supports health and coloration.

  • Tank Setup:
    Best used in the foreground. Requires fine-grain substrate and consistent trimming. Plant in small clusters with gaps to allow spreading. Suitable for nano tanks and high-tech layouts.

Care Tips:

Rinse off all tissue culture gel thoroughly before planting. Plant in loose, spaced clumps for better coverage and airflow. Regular trimming encourages horizontal growth and prevents upward stretch. Sensitive to poor flow and nutrient imbalances, so stable conditions are key.

With its refined appearance and lush carpet-forming habit, Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba' (HC) is a premium choice for aquascapers seeking a vibrant and professional-looking layout. Tissue culture format ensures a fresh, clean start for this high-impact foreground plant.
