Monte Carlo (Micranthemum tweediei) is one of the most popular carpeting plants for planted aquariums, creating a dense, lush green carpet that brings natural beauty to your aquascape. This versatile foreground plant features small, round leaves that form a compact mat, perfect for creating depth and perspective in layouts of any size.
Monte Carlo is an excellent choice for aquascapers wanting a reliable carpeting plant without the demanding requirements of HC Cuba. Plant small portions 2-3cm apart in nutrient-rich substrate for best results. CO2 supplementation significantly improves carpeting speed and density. Regular trimming encourages horizontal growth and maintains the carpet effect. The plant will grow taller in lower light conditions, so medium to high light is recommended for a tight, compact carpet. Monte Carlo works beautifully in nature aquascapes, Iwagumi layouts, and any design requiring foreground coverage. Its small leaf size creates excellent scale and perspective in both small and large aquariums.
