Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • you could do some trellis-type stuff by leaning hardscape upright and letting some moss, pearlweed, other attaching stuff grow up along it
  • Gosh I love pearlweed man
  • Pearlweed grows real quick, but it gets tall.
  • Pearlweed and Guppy Grass give fish a place to hide.
  • I was hoping to use the pearlweed to carpet after it started showing some new growth

Cons

  • I think pearlweed is easy but I will say that mine always took a while before taking off, it just sort of existed unless I shoved some in the holes of cholla wood but it never died and in time (a lot of it) it took off in big ways lol.
  • Pearlweed carpet was too much of maintenance. Every week.
  • I have used it on so many but I melted pearlweed (even when being careful) and anacharis.
  • All my pearlweed vanished and was overtaken by crypts.
  • Pearlweed?

Other plants I personally recommend: - Pearlweed - Rotala Rotundifolia Green - Salvania (super manageable floater) - Water Wisteria - Limnophila Heterophylla
