Soleirolia soleirolii, commonly called baby’s tears, is a low-growing plant native to the Mediterranean known for its tiny, round leaves that form a dense, moss-like mat. What makes this plant special is its soft, carpet-like texture and fast-spreading growth that creates a full, lush look, whether used in pots, terrariums, or as ground cover.
Light should be bright but gentle to maintain its dense, compact form. Place it in an east or north-facing window where it gets steady light without direct sun hitting the foliage. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 12–18 inches from the top of the plant. Too much direct sun can dry it out quickly and cause thinning, while too little light will make it leggy and less dense.
Watering needs to stay very consistent. Keep the soil evenly moist at all times, never soggy and never fully dried out, using a mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark that holds moisture while staying airy. If the plant begins to thin or develop gaps, it is not getting enough light or consistent moisture. If it dries out, it can decline quickly, while yellowing with softness at the base points to excess moisture without enough airflow.

Rooted Plant Shop is amazing! Mel has very beautiful plants and a lot of knowledge. I love her and the shop and the plants. The plants are packed with extreme care and even seat belted in the box. Her knowledge has really saved my plants from over watering to everything lights, bugs, you ask she'll most likely know. Beautiful soul and doesn't ask for a thing. Mainly teaches, about plants! You would think she didn't sell plants cause she will never shove them do your throat. I absolutely adored her, her shop and the knowledge she shares. Please check her out!
I look forward to picking a different plant each month. Sometimes it’s hard though! I’ve been happy with the plants I have received thus far and like knowing the place I get them from cares about what they do and their plants. Highly recommend not only doing a subscription but buying from this site/shop. Incredible service, prompt answers to questions, and Mel is full of knowledge that she shares on social media.
Always best shipping and packaging delivered safely
