Monte Carlo – Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo'

Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo' (Linderniaceae) is a creeping foreground plant with small, rounded leaves that forms dense carpets and enhances the sense of scale in aquascapes. It is less demanding than Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba', tolerating lower light and growing without CO₂ injection, although CO₂ supplementation produces denser growth.

It can also be grown emersed in paludariums and terrariums at 90–100% relative humidity, or with only the roots submerged.
