Native to Cuba, this variety is known as dwarf baby tears because of its tiny size. The leaves are only a few millimeters wide at the largest. Hemianthus callitrichoides is a highly adaptable plant in terms of water softness and hardness, but it requires good light levels and a plentiful supply of CO2. Plants that develop above water can be split into small parts and planted. This will give you a lush foreground cushion. Aquascape projects combining dwarf baby tears with different rocks look both decorative and natural. Try planting Hemianthus with a red or purple species to provide contrast.
