🌿 Baby Tears ‘Red Stem’
Soleirolia soleirolii
Delicate in texture. Rich in detail.
Baby Tears ‘Red Stem’ is a fine-textured trailing plant known for its tiny, round green leaves and subtle reddish stems that peek through like quiet contrast. Soft and cloud-like in appearance, it creates a lush, carpeted effect wherever it grows.
Perfect for softening shelves, filling in terrariums, or spilling gently over the edge of a planter.
At House of Ivy, this is one of our favorite “finishing plants.” The one that brings everything together.
