Solenostoma tetragonum 'Pearl Moss' is a rare and distinctive liverwort from Borneo, offering a fresh and highly decorative appearance compared to traditional aquarium mosses.

Its small, round, translucent leaves form a dense, cushion-like growth with a deep green color, adding detail and structure to any aquascape.

This species grows slowly and naturally attaches to stones and driftwood, where it forms compact, elegant mats. It is ideal for nano aquariums or for introducing fine structures into larger setups, especially in combination with Bucephalandra and other shade-loving species.

Solenostoma tetragonum thrives in stable conditions with CO2 supplementation and balanced nutrient supply. With time and proper care, it rewards the aquarist with striking, pearl-like oxygen bubbles forming between its densely packed leaves.
