Micranthemum Tweediei 'Monte Carlo' - Tropica

Micranthemum Tweediei 'Monte Carlo' — Tropica | Potted

The carpeting plant that started a revolution — and still reigns supreme.

Monte Carlo is the gold standard of aquarium carpeting plants, and for good reason. Originally from Argentina, this fast growing foreground plant spreads eagerly across the substrate, producing a lush, dense carpet of compact round light green leaves that transforms the bottom of any aquascape into something truly breathtaking.

Unlike some carpeting plants that demand extreme light and heavy CO2 injection, Monte Carlo is forgiving enough to grow in light shadow — making it accessible to a wider range of setups while still delivering that coveted lawn effect that defines a truly polished aquascape.

Sourced from Tropica, the world's gold standard in aquatic plant production, our Monte Carlo arrives healthy and potted, ready to spread and carpet your aquarium floor.

What makes it special:

• Tropica sourced — guaranteed quality and healthy roots
• Fast growing carpet plant — fills the foreground quickly and densely
• Compact round light green leaves — clean, fresh, and visually striking
• More forgiving than many carpeting plants — can handle light shadow
• Compatible with shrimp, snails, and all community fish

Care notes: Good light and CO2 supplementation recommended for optimal compact growth. Plant in fine substrate in small separated portions to encourage spreading. pH 6.0–7.5, temperature 72–82°F.

Canada-wide shipping available.

The foreground plant every aquascaper dreams of — and the one they always come back to.
