We recommend for aquariums with Soil a layer of fine Soil (Powder) over the normal substrate, so that the short roots can get a good foothold. The Cuba Dwarf Pearlwort can also be tied to small flat stones with nylon thread or similar, so it cannot be dug up by digging snails, for example.

Regular pruning is important to keep the Cuba Dwarf Pearlwort short and bushy. The plant can be propagated simply by dividing or by replanting cut shoots.
