🌿 Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo' – Lush, Fast-Spreading Carpet Plant

Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo', commonly known as Monte Carlo, is one of the most popular carpeting plants for planted aquariums. Its small, round, bright green leaves create a dense, vibrant carpet that brings a lush, natural look to any aquascape. Unlike some other carpeting species, Monte Carlo is relatively fast-growing and adaptable, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquascapers.

At Aquarium Plants Factory nursery, we cultivate Monte Carlo emersed for stronger growth and easier adaptation to your tank. When submerged with good light and CO₂, this plant will quickly spread across the substrate, creating a beautiful foreground or midground carpet.
