I haven't had my plants pearl from the leaves in a few weeks, except where I cut them and damaged them. I got the Cabomba a little while ago, maybe 2 weeks or so and it is already pearling! I cant believe a plant that is so new and should be acclimatng is pearling better than my other plants that grow like weeds! This is one plant I would add to the list of easy to pearl!

I just can't believe it but is a good thing I guess. Anyone else seen plants that will pearl in a tank when nothing else will? And it is odd because I have gotten a red melon sword to pearl at the same time every other plant but my Crypts were pearling. I guess that would mean crypts don't pearl easily, not even as easily as Anubias nana
 
My Riccia on the substrate pearls like crazy when nothing else will.

Doesn't bother me because the other plants grow quickly. My red plants that should be red, really are red! Must be doing something right. IMO, pearling is overrated.
