병아리눈물 01 Common Name: Mind your own business Genus: Soleirolia Species: soleirolii Skill Level: Beginner Exposure: Full sun, Partial shade Hardiness: Hardy Soil type: Clay/heavy, Dry, Moist, Sandy, Well-drained/light, Boggy Height: 5cm Spread: 90cm Time to divide plants: April to May Best known as an indoor plant, baby's tears, or mind your own business, makes an attractive and maintenance-free alternative to grass as ground cover in moist shady areas. The masses of tiny leaves clothe slender spreading stems that root as they run, forming a dense deep-pile carpet. As it covers the ground it will run over rocks, fallen logs, and so on, clinging to their shape so the features of the landscape are picked out. Quick to establish, it survives periodic dry spells and recovers quickly afterwards. It is a superb substitute for moss in a Japanese garden or shady courtyard.
