Wabi Kusa Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba'

This wabikusa range allows easy planting of your favourite carpeting plant. A plug and play concept whereby the substrate ball can be placed just underneath the substrate and watch it carpet without any problems of your plant floating when filling up the tank.

Hemianthus callitrichoides with its leaf size of only four to three millimetres makes this Hemianthus species the smallest aquarium plant in the world. For several years it has been among the most popular aquascaping plants.

Its relative hardiness and its very nice appearance make H. callitrichoides a highly attractive and recommendable aquarium plant. It is not only suitable for carpet-like structures in the foreground, but also for layouts with many stones as a nice accent in the crevices, where it reminds the onlooker of alpine cushion plants. It can even be attached to driftwood, where it forms large bright green cushions with overhanging shoots. This tiny plant is highly suitable for nano tanks.

Under sufficiently intense light, Hemianthus callitrichoides can also be cultivated above the waterline, where it generally forms more compact cushions than under water. In an open tank, it may be attached along the waterline of driftwood or rocks sticking out of the water.
