Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba White'

Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba White' is a rare pale carpeting plant prized for its cream-white to light-green foliage that creates a striking foreground accent. It works especially well in the foreground, where thoughtful spacing and routine maintenance help it develop its best shape and color.

For best results, plant in small portions in a nutrient-rich substrate and maintain very stable conditions to support the low-chlorophyll foliage. Acclimate the plant gradually, remove damaged growth, and maintain consistent water quality while new roots and shoots establish.
