Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba' – The Ultimate Carpeting Plant for Aquascapes
Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba', commonly known as HC Cuba, is one of the smallest and most popular carpeting plants in the aquascaping world. Its tiny, bright green leaves create a dense, lush carpet, making it an essential plant for Iwagumi, Dutch-style, and nature aquascapes. This plant is perfect for aquarists looking to achieve a vibrant, natural lawn effect in their aquarium.
Growth & Care Requirements
HC Cuba thrives in high-tech aquariums, requiring strong lighting, CO₂ injection, and a nutrient-rich substrate for optimal growth. It spreads rapidly through runners, forming a thick, cushion-like carpet that enhances the depth and dimension of an aquascape.
While Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba' can be grown in low-tech setups, its growth will be significantly slower, and the plant may grow more vertically rather than spreading compactly. Proper trimming and water circulation help maintain its low, dense form, preventing it from becoming too leggy.

- Bright Green & Dense Carpet: Ideal for achieving a stunning aquascape.
- Fast-Spreading & Low-Growing: Forms a natural lawn effect with proper care.
- Perfect for High-Tech Aquariums: Requires CO₂, strong light, and nutrient-rich substrate.
For aquascapers looking to create a breathtaking underwater landscape, Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba' is an outstanding choice. Its lush, compact growth and vibrant color make it a top-tier plant for professional and beginner aquascapers alike.
