The plant '''''Soleirolia soleirolii''''' ({{pron-en|sɵˌliːəˈroʊliə sɵˌliːəˈroʊli.aɪ}},<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> syn. ''Helxine soleirolii'') of the [[Urticaceae|nettle family]] has a number of common names, including '''baby's tears''', '''angel's tears''', '''mind-your-own-business''', '''peace-in-the-home''', '''pollyanna vine''', '''mother of thousands''', and '''the Corsican curse'''. It has also been called '''Irish moss'''; however, it is not a [[moss]], nor should it be confused with ''[[Sagina subulata]]'' or ''[[Chondrus crispus]]'', which are also known as "Irish moss". It is a delicate-looking creeping [[herb]] with juicy bright green or yellow leaves and multitudes of tiny white flowers. It grows close to the ground in mats and is sometimes used in ornamental [[garden]]s alongside [[fern]]s and other moisture-loving type of plants. This species is native to the northern [[Mediterranean region]] in and around [[Italy]] and nearby islands, but it has been [[introduced species|introduced]] and cultivated nearly worldwide as an ornamental and garden plant. It can be grown indoors as a [[houseplant]] and used in habitats for [[amphibian]]s. It prefers shade and moderate moisture.It can even grow submersed in swampy environments. In colder regions the plant dies back during winter, but it returns with lush growth as the temperature increases. It is capable of [[vegetative reproduction]], so once it has become established in an area, the entire plant must be removed, or else it can sprout new growth. It is a common [[weed]] in many places. [[Nursery (horticulture)|Nurseries]] grow several varieties, including gold, yellow, and white breeds, but the mossy-green type is most popular with gardeners. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:Soleirolia soleirolii002.JPG| photo 1 File:Helxine soleirolii3 WPC.jpg| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
