Hemianthus Callitrichoides 'Cuba' | Aquarium Gardens Plants

Product Description


Hemianthus Callitrichoides 'cuba' is one of the worlds smallest aquarium plants. It can be used to create a stunning lush foreground carpet. For this reason it is also one of the most popular carpet plants we have on sale. The leaves are millimeters in size. When planting, plant in small clumps 3-5cm apart.

High demands including high levels of CO2 and light help this plant perform well and spread across the bottom of your substrate in a compact manner. When this is acheived, Hemianthus Callitrichoides produces oxygen bubbles known as 'perling'. This makes for a very attractive feature when the lights are on and reflecting off the bubbles. This plant can be grown under lower levels of light, however, expect much slower growth and less compact formations.

Recommended for the experianced aquascaper or high tech setups. Very good in small aquariums for a sense of scale and can also be used in larger aquaria.

Excellent quality. Ordered 10 of these, as part of a larger order, to carpet the front of my tank. Every single plant was beautifully packed and exceptionally lush and green right out the packet. Great quality and very impressed.

Fantastic healthy bright plant. Seems to be doing OK with just liquid carbon for now. Fingers crossed. Could not have had a better start.

  • Vibrant plants

    Ordered plants from here a few times and it has always been a great service. Plants are always healthy and packaged well. Excellent service and quick delivery

  • Superb quality plants.

    Superb quality plants. Delivered quickly and packaged superbly. I won’t be going anywhere else to get my aquarium plants and aquascaping equipment.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Dave and the guys at Aquarium Gardens are without doubt the leaders in their field of Aquascaping. My wife and I have visited several times over the last couple of years and have always received fantastic advice and guidance. Two years ago we had one small tank, we now have three aquascapes all running CO2, this definitely wouldn’t be possible without all the support from the guys at Aquarium Gardens. Carry on doing what you’re doing because your business model is superb…..thanks once again Malcolm & Cheryl Orgill

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
