History: Hemianthus Umbrosum is beautiful aquatic plant known for its bright light green coloration and tiny round leaves. Found naturally growing in the waterways of Southeastern United States and Central America.  It remains a popular aquarium plant for aquascapers attempting to create Nature Aquarium or Dutch influenced aquascapes.

Growth Characteristics: Hemianthus Umbrosum is an easy to grow stem plant that will grow well in a wide range of water conditions, tank parameters, and fertilization schemes.  At minimum, moderate lighting should be provided to allow the leaves to grow into a rich bright green.  It can be grown with or without carbon dioxide, and minimum fertilization, but will grown extensively with these supplements.  Occasionally leaves may turn brown indicating either poor lighting or insufficient nutrients.

The stems will grow to a height of 2-8 inches (5-20 cm) with four tiny round leaves per node. Propagation is like any ordinary stem plant.  It can be cut in half with bottoms left in the substrate to sprout side shoots.  The tops can be replanted.  

Aquascaping Application: Hemianthus Umbrosum is a multipurpose plant that can fit in any part of the aquarium.  In small aquariums, this plant makes a perfect background or mid-ground plant.  The small leaf structure will make the aquarium appear larger than it is.  While in large aquariums, in greater densities Hemianthus Umbrosum can be planted in the foreground or mid-ground to accent and fill holes in an aquascape.

This plant is best planted in small to medium size clusters, stem by stem, into the substrate.  From there, it may be trimmed according to the aquascaping style desired. Hemianthus Umbrosum response very well to trimming, and can be groomed to grow in a lush bush, or even a more manicured mound such as the ones found in Dutch aquascapes.

In some cases, hobbyists have trained Hemianthus Umbrosum to grow horizontally to form a dense carpet. High light is needed in order to do this, and regular trimming of the emerging horizontal side shoots.
