Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' is one of the newer groundcover plants available in the hobby. It has bright green round leaves and grows in a creeping manner. Due to its very small form, Monte Carlo is an excellent carpeting plant for aquariums of all sizes because it can increase sense of scale in aquascape. This plant is perhaps known more as an alternative to Hemianthus callitrichoides 'HC'. Compared to HC, Monte Carlo is easier to grow. It is less light demanding and hobbyists have grown it successfully without CO2 injection though it is highly recommended for a lush, cushion like carpet.
Tissue culture plants are grown in sterile conditions so they are guaranteed to be free from pests, algae and pathogens. To use just simply rinse off the nutrient medium gel, split the plants into portions, and plant the portions into the aquarium.
