Buy Micranthemum Umbrosum Takashi Carpet Aquarium Plant

Micranthemum Umbrosum “Takashi Carpet” is a highly sought-after foreground carpeting plant in aquascaping, prized for its lush, dense, and vibrant green growth. Native to South America, this plant creates a soft, textured carpet that instantly transforms the look of your aquarium into a natural underwater meadow. Its small, round leaves spread compactly, adding depth and beauty to any aquascape.

Key Features

Ideal for foreground placement in planted aquariums
Requires moderate to high lighting for lush growth
Benefits from CO₂ supplementation and a nutrient-rich substrate
Fast-growing and easy to maintain with regular trimming
Creates a natural base layer in freshwater aquascapes

Why Choose Micranthemum “Takashi Carpet”?

Perfect Foreground Choice: Its compact growth pattern makes it one of the best carpeting plants for aquascaping layouts, whether you are creating an Iwagumi-style tank or a lush jungle scape.
Easy Maintenance: With the right light and nutrients, it grows quickly and evenly, forming a soft, green carpet that requires only occasional trimming to maintain its neat look.
Enhances Aquascape Aesthetics: The bright green foliage contrasts beautifully with rocks, driftwood, and red-stem plants, adding balance and harmony to your aquascape.

Healthy Ecosystem Benefits: As it spreads, this plant helps improve water quality by absorbing nitrates and providing oxygen, creating a more balanced environment for fish and shrimp.

Care and Growth Requirements

Light: Moderate to high lighting is recommended for compact and healthy growth.
Substrate: Thrives best in a nutrient-rich substrate but can adapt to most planted aquarium soils.
CO₂: Supplementation significantly improves growth rate and density.

Trimming: Regular trimming encourages horizontal spread and prevents overgrowth.

Is Micranthemum Umbrosum the same as Monte Carlo?
Monte Carlo (Micranthemum tweediei) is closely related but has slightly larger leaves. Takashi Carpet is often chosen for denser, finer carpeting.

Can Micranthemum grow without CO₂?
Yes, but growth will be slower and less compact. With CO₂, the plant forms a denser carpet more quickly.

How do I plant Micranthemum Takashi Carpet?Divide into small clumps and plant them evenly across the foreground. With time and trimming, they will grow into a continuous green carpet.
