UNS Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' in-Vitro

UNS Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' – Tissue Culture

Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' is a popular carpeting aquarium plant known for its vibrant green colour, small rounded leaves, and dense, lush growth. Ideal for creating a natural-looking carpet across the foreground of planted aquariums, Monte Carlo adds a beautiful touch to any aquascape.

Its creeping growth habit allows it to spread across the substrate, forming a thick green carpet when provided with suitable lighting and nutrients. Although it can grow without CO₂ injection, additional CO₂ encourages faster, denser, and healthier growth.

Grown using sterile tissue culture techniques, UNS Monte Carlo is supplied free from snails, algae, and unwanted pests, making it an excellent choice for freshwater aquariums.
