Micranthemum Micranthimoids ‘Monte Carlo’

Micarnthemum tweediei (Micranthemum sp ‘Monte Carlo’)

Currently this species of Micranthemum enjoys worldwide appreciation and there is a huge demand in aquarium trade. This plant is originally collected from Argentina. Leaves are round with light green in colour and arranged opposite on the stem. A very graceful creeping plant and flexible because of its moderate easiness. It will form dense carpet in nutrient rich environment. It can survive in less bright conditions too. CO2 addition is mandatory. Thinning the densely grown ones will help the plant to maintain its normal growth, otherwise the creeping stems underneeth will start decay and can cause the whole mat uprooting.
