Tropica Micranthemum callitrichoides 'Cuba' CUP

Micranthemum callitrichoides 'Cuba' is an attractive ground cover popular with aquarists. Clean water thanks to weekly partial water changes and sufficient light will soon result in dense, beautiful carpets. This pretty foreground plant also thrives with added CO2. It is one of the most delicate aquarium plants and should be planted in small bunches a few centimetres apart. It is also suitable for nano tanks. Small aquarium dwellers like to seek shelter and rest beneath its dense canopy.

Note: The cups are grown in a lab. Aquatic plants grown in the so-called in-vitro culture are sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. In vitro plants do not harbour stowaways such as snails or parasites. No pesticides are used.
