Tropica 025 Tissue Culture - Micranthemum tweediei Monte Carlo

Tropica 025 Tissue Culture - Micranthemum tweediei Monte Carlo is a live carpeting aquarium plant for aquascapers who want a fast-growing, compact green carpet at the front of the tank. Its round, light green leaves sit on creeping stalks, so it suits foreground planting in a planted aquarium.

Key Benefits

• Compact, round, fresh light green leaves give the foreground a bright, even look.
• Creeping stalks spread into a fast-growing carpet at the front of the aquarium.
• It can grow in light shadow, but good light and a CO2 additive help it develop optimally and become really compact.
• Originates from Argentina, which makes it a natural fit for South American-themed layouts.
