All of the plants except for one pearled in my tank today. It was the first time I've ever seen plants pearl (except for one small bunch but that just pearled for a few moments the first time I put it into my tank). I have no idea what I did to make them do that. (I have some research to do). I don't use any CO2 or any plant additives. I just thought it was cool and wanted to share.

Congrats :) All plants give off some oxygen during the day, without C02 or good light its usually not enough to be visible or pearl. If you dont normally see it what might have happened is that the oxygen became 'trapped' in a pocket and formed a bubble or pearl. My plants do it like crazy to the point where my whole tank sometimes looks like a big airstone when my Blu Rams poke at the bubbles and they become loose and float to the top. Some plants just give off a fine line of micro bubbles constantly rising and other pearl with micro bubbles also.
