Micranthemum sp.
Also known as: Narrow Monte Carlo, Fine Monte Carlo
Origin: South America
Micranthemum sp. 'Montecarlo Narrow' is a tissue culture selection distinguished by its notably slimmer leaves and finer stem structure compared to the conventional Monte Carlo plant. These characteristics produce a carpet with a more refined, intricate texture that many aquascapers find complementary to ultra-small foreground accents. It creeps more tightly against the substrate, reducing the tendency to lift seen in some Monte Carlo clumps. Medium light and CO2 supplementation encourage the best lateral spread. As with all tissue culture products, it arrives snail and algae free. Excellent for Iwagumi and minimalist layouts where a delicate foreground texture enhances the perception of depth and scale.
Light: Medium–high CO2: Recommended Fertilisation: Nutrient-rich substrate; regular micro and macro dosing Placement: Foreground carpet Propagation: Divide tissue culture plug into small sections and press into substrate
