Monte Carlo (Micranthemum “Monte Carlo”), pot

Micranthemum “Monte Carlo” is an ideal carpeting plant that is similar to Dwarf Baby’s Tears, but is much easier to keep!   Monte Carlo (Micranthemum tweediei “Monte Carlo”) is an increasingly popular plant for carpeting the serious freshwater planted aquarium. With proper care, this hardy, fast-growing plant can flourish and cover the entire foreground of the aquascape with beautiful lime green coloration. Due to its comparatively easy care requirements and similar appearance, Monte Carlo is becoming a highly-desired alternative to the related species Dwarf Baby’s Tears (Hemianthus callitrichoides var. “Cuba”).

Its trimmings can be replanted to increase the mat. It does not require CO2 supp
