Micranthemum ‘Monte Carlo’ TC Cup
Quick Overview
Micranthemum ‘Monte Carlo' is a low-growing aquatic plant that originates from New Zealand. It is a perfect foreground plant that if given sufficient lighting and nutrients can grow into a thick carpet of green foliage. The leaves are small and round with a beautiful bright green coloration that can nicely offset any neutral-toned substrate. This plant is very similar to Hemianthus Callitrichoides (HC/Dwarf Baby Tears) but the leaves are larger and in our experience, it's generally easier to grow. When hobbyists are having trouble growing HC, we recommend giving Monte Carlo a try. High lighting and Co2 injection are necessary to keep this plant low growing. Vertical growing thin stalks are an indication of lack of lighting while yellowing leaves can mean nutrition deficiency. Thin leaves can also hint at a lack of CO2. This plant can grow quickly and require regular trimming when kept under proper conditions.
