Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba', commonly known as HC Cuba or Dwarf Baby Tears, is one of the smallest aquarium plants in the world and the ultimate choice for creating stunning, lush carpets in aquascapes. With its tiny, bright green leaves and compact growth habit, this plant is perfect for achieving a natural, dense carpet effect in both nano tanks and larger aquascapes.
HC Cuba thrives in moderate to high light conditions with CO₂ supplementation and nutrient-rich substrates. Plant small portions (1-2cm apart) across the foreground area for best coverage. The plant will spread via runners to fill in gaps and create a dense carpet over time.
Regular trimming helps maintain a tight, compact carpet and prevents the plant from growing upward. With proper care and patience, HC Cuba will reward you with one of the most beautiful and detailed carpets possible in aquascaping.
All plants are shipped carefully packaged to ensure they arrive in excellent condition. Live plants may vary slightly in size and colour from photos.

CO2 requirements vary by species. Check the Care Information tab for this specific plant. Many of our plants can thrive without CO2, though growth may be slower.
Most of our aquarium plants are grown submerged (underwater), which means they adapt faster to your tank and are less likely to melt. This gives you stronger roots and instant success. The exception is our terrarium plants, which are grown emersed (above water)
