Its small, round, bright green leaves can form dense carpets in the foreground or serve as a bushy midground feature. This plant is easy to care for and grows rapidly under the right conditions. Grown in-vitro, it arrives free from pests, algae, and pathogens, ensuring a clean start for your aquarium.

Key Features:

• Compact and Bushy Growth: Micranthemum glomeratum has small, bright green leaves that grow densely, making it perfect for either carpeting or creating bushy clusters in the midground.
• Fast-Growing Plant: With the proper lighting and CO2, it grows quickly and spreads well, providing lush, vibrant greenery in the tank.
• In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile, nutrient-rich conditions, this plant is free from pests, snails, algae, and other contaminants, ensuring a healthy start.
• Versatile Aquascaping: Whether used for foreground carpets, midground bushes, or filling spaces in nano tanks, this plant is highly adaptable in any aquascape.

Care Requirements:

• Lighting: Medium to high lighting is needed for compact and vibrant growth. Under high light, the plant grows bushier and spreads more quickly, making it ideal for carpeting or dense clusters.
• CO2: While not strictly necessary, CO2 supplementation is highly recommended for faster growth and better leaf development, helping the plant spread and maintain its lush appearance.
• Water Parameters: This plant thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.0-7.5 and temperatures between 20-28°C. A nutrient-rich substrate will support rapid growth.
• Trimming: Regular trimming is essential to maintain its shape and encourage lateral spreading, whether it’s being used as a carpet or midground plant. Trimmings can be replanted to propagate more plants.

Planting Tips:

• Rinse the plant thoroughly to remove any nutrient gel before planting in your aquarium.
• Divide the plant into small portions and plant them evenly across the substrate for a carpet effect or cluster them in the midground for a bushy appearance.
• Provide strong lighting and CO2 supplementation for best results and quicker establishment in the tank.
