MICRANTHEMUM TWEEDIEI 'MONTECARLO' – Innovative Foreground Carpet Plant – Tropica 1-2-Grow!
Micranthemum tweediei 'Montecarlo' is one of the most promising and adaptable carpet plants for the aquarium foreground, known for its compact, creeping growth. Unlike the more vertical-growing Micranthemum umbrosum, 'Montecarlo' spreads horizontally across the substrate, forming a lush green carpet perfect for aquascaping and Nano Cubes.
Native to South America, this modern Pearlwort variety offers a more robust and manageable alternative to Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba', with stable growth and easier care. Its small, round light green leaves and prostrate stems thrive under medium to high lighting and benefit greatly from CO₂ supplementation and consistent fertilization.
Grown in vitro, the Tropica 1-2-Grow! version is free from snails, algae, and pesticides, ensuring total safety for shrimp and sensitive aquarium species. The sterile gel substrate promotes fast acclimatization and healthy development from the very first stages.

Creeping, compact foreground carpet plant

How to use:
Remove the plant from the Tropica 1-2-Grow! cup and rinse off the gel under running water. Divide into small clumps and plant in the substrate using tweezers, spacing the portions evenly. Under optimal lighting and CO₂, it will form a vibrant, even carpet over time.
Why choose Micranthemum tweediei 'Montecarlo':

Easy to manage, quick to adapt, and fully compatible with delicate aquarium life, it is a top choice for natural layouts and professional aquascaping.
