I’ve always seen plants pearling on videos. The other day I bought a water sprite. Says it can be floated but I just dropped it in with the plant weight. It’s been in there since maybe Friday. 
 

Discovered some other forum members planted theirs, so I did that this morning, with a root tab. Look! It’s pearling! 
 

You plant NERMs are probably like, yeah yeah yeah.. but up to this point I’ve had Java moss, Java fern, micro sword, and anubias, and I never saw any of them do this. So this is a special moment. 🥰

I guess my Java fern became all spotty/black because of a lack of potassium?  I wonder if Leaf Zone would be beneficial. As usual, my first thought is about snail safety (fish too; fish seem hardier though).  I always hesitate when it comes to water additives.

I use GReen leaf aquarium potassium.  Their site is on the web. Dry powder super cheap one ingredient so snail and fish safe. 

Also tropica nilogc makes a shrimp /invert safe one

I absolutely love it. I don’t use backgrounds unless it’s a display in front of a window. My fish seem more active and less nervous without it when I took one off so I just never used them again. I decided I preferred the look as well. All attention on fish and plants.
