Micranthemum Monte Carlo

Product Description


Micranthemum species ‘Monte Carlo’ is a fast growing foreground plant when the optimal requirements are met.

Micranthemum Monte-Carlo can be compared with the very popular Hemianthus Calitrichoides, in that the leaves look very similar and it carpets very well too. Micranthemum Monte-Carlo leaves are slightly bigger, ranging from 5mm-10mm. It is a bright shade of green and is a wonderful plant to carpet. A great alternative to HC. It does not need as much light as HC and is considered slightly easier to grow. Good levels of CO2 will ensure this plant does well.
 

Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' comes from Argentina. It has compact, round and fresh light green leaves on creeping stalks and creates a fast-growing carpet in the front of the aquarium. The plant can grow in light shadow, but requires good light conditions, as well as CO2 additive, in order to develop optimally and become really compact.

Excellent quality plants, will not hesitate to buy from here again.

Collected these plus a few other items in person as I was also buying some Co2 bottles -my first time visit to a 'proper' aquarium specialist shop. I was like a kid in a sweet shop. Well worth a trip.

Plants arrived quickly even with standard delivery and are of a great quality. I purchased some from an LFS and those are not doing well, but the ones from aquarium gardens have been now planted for just over two weeks and are growing crazily and have covered twice the area they were planted in.

Will definitely be buying all my future plants from these guys and would recommend them to everyone. ★★★★★

  • Superb quality plants.

    Superb quality plants. Delivered quickly and packaged superbly. I won’t be going anywhere else to get my aquarium plants and aquascaping equipment.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Dave and the guys at Aquarium Gardens are without doubt the leaders in their field of Aquascaping. My wife and I have visited several times over the last couple of years and have always received fantastic advice and guidance. Two years ago we had one small tank, we now have three aquascapes all running CO2, this definitely wouldn’t be possible without all the support from the guys at Aquarium Gardens. Carry on doing what you’re doing because your business model is superb…..thanks once again Malcolm & Cheryl Orgill

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
