In my first ever order with APF, I ordered 2 cups of tissue culture Monte Carlo and it arrived very healthy but I noticed the leaves were very tiny. I planted these in my small tank which carpeted very fast with CO2 and good lighting - I was quite happy with it! So happy that I ordered another cup a few weeks later but the new order had bigger leaves much like the typical Monte Carlo (like the potted version). I was quite disappointed because of the size difference so I could not use it in my tank without it looking like 2 different plants...
It turns out in my first order, I was sent HC Cuba labelled as "Monte Carlo". I proved this by ordering 3 cups of tissue culture Monte Carlo for my newest tank (3 months later) and I received normal looking Monte Carlo.
This goes out of stock regularly so someone at APF likely sent me HC Cuba to fulfill my order. I've been thinking for 3 months that my Monte Carlo leaves were uniquely smaller than other people's. I just wish I knew this before ordering for my new tank - I like the smaller look of HC Cuba better.
