This trailing plant is a native of Mexico and Brazil, and although it looks similar to true Baby Tears (Helxine soleirolii), it is not very closely related.  Leaves are smaller than a fingernail.   It is sturdier than you might think, and will stand up to even the chunkiest dart frog, rapidly forming a dense carpet.  Plant it on a vertical surface and it will drape to form a green wall.  As with any terrarium plant it will establish better if you put it in a few weeks to a month before adding any large frogs.  

All of our plants are shipped bare-root to lower the shipping cost. Therefore, you will either need to plant your plants in your terrarium when they arrive or be prepared to pot them.  Plastic or Styrofoam cups with a hole in the bottom for drainage make great temporary pots.

Plants are shipped from the greenhouse and separate from all other items purchased. Plants are shipped Monday-Wednesday and Saturdays. Plant Orders must be received by 8:00 PM EST in order to ship the next shipping day. Plant shipments during extreme weather are only guaranteed when someone is present to receive the package on the first delivery attempt. All plant shipments will not ship if the low temperature dips below 20 degrees in Stockbridge, MI or the destination city.

All plants are guaranteed to arrive healthy and true to name. This guarantee is void during extreme weather if someone is not present to accept the package on the first attempt. We can not guarantee long term survival of plants since we cannot control the customer's care and conditions. In order to ensure that plants arrive in the best condition possible, plants will not ship until temperatures are above 20 degrees in Stockbridge, MI and the destination city.
