Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged. Dwarf baby tears thrives in high humidity and prefers regular watering, especially during active growth.

Allow the top layer of substrate to dry slightly between waterings in less humid conditions to prevent root rot.

Regular pruning encourages denser growth and prevents the plant from becoming leggy. Trim back any long stems with sharp scissors to maintain the desired carpet-like appearance.

Pruning also stimulates new shoots, ensuring a fuller mat of foliage. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly.

Dwarf baby tears is easily propagated through division or stem cuttings. Separate healthy runners or entire plant masses and replant them into moist substrate.

Stem cuttings can be taken from healthy stems and placed directly into damp soil or water, where they will root readily.

Repotting is generally only necessary when the plant becomes pot-bound or when propagating. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally with added peat or coco coir for moisture retention.

Gently remove the plant from its old container, divide if desired, and place it in a slightly larger pot or back into the same one with fresh substrate.
