I've been looking at some Glossostigma elatinoides, the LFS called it
"Babies Tears". Looks nice, but how is it difficult?
Ken,
Nomenclature issue. This is Glossostigma:

What most people out here call "baby tears" is Micranthemum umbrosum:

Glosso is a popular foreground/lawn plant, especially in Amano-inspired tanks.
Micranthemum is a rapidly growing stem plant that can also be trained to grow along the
substrate. But they are quite different from each other.
