Pearl grass has no strict requirements on water quality and can be cultivated in fresh water from soft water with low hardness to weak hard water. Pay attention that the salinity should not be too high. The pH of water is best controlled between 6-7.5, which is slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. It has a large demand for fertilizers, and top dressing is sufficient every 2-3 weeks during the vigorous growth stage.

If possible, it is best to add carbon dioxide to the water to ensure better plant growth. Be careful not to expose it to too much sunlight, otherwise moss will spread quickly. It is best to let it receive 3-4 hours of scattered sunlight every day; use special fluorescent lamps and give it 7-9 hours of artificial light every day, and the plant can grow normally.

Under good management conditions, pearl grass is less prone to disease and less susceptible to attacks by harmful animals. This plant is perennial and its seedlings are slow to sprout. Under good management conditions, its best viewing period can be up to 6-8 months after planting. When the plants take shape, they should be updated in time, and their continuous planting should not exceed one year.

Cultivation technology

When decorating aquariums indoors, it is advisable to use sand with a diameter of 1-2 mm as the cultivation substrate. Coarse gravel will cause poor plant growth. Daily management should be strengthened before operation to ensure better growth of new plants.

If you need to plant pearl grass alone, the container used is usually a medium-sized aquarium. Pay attention to the placement location to ensure that the plant can receive the required light. First, lay the cultivation substrate at the bottom of the aquarium with a thickness of 4-5 cm. You can first fill half of the tank with water, and then you can plant;

After the operation is completed, fill the cultivation container with water to the required height. It is best to plant 30-40 pearl grass plants in patches, so that the viewing effect will be better.
