baby tears
Tiny-leaved ground cover
Baby tears is a creeping plant with tiny, delicate round leaves that form dense mats, popular as ground cover or in terrariums.
The name comes from the leaf shape—small droplets clustered on thin stems.
Also called baby's tears or mind-your-own-business.
The plural tears refers to the many leaves, not to crying.
