Potted Plant – Monte Carlo (Micranthemum tweediei)
Monte Carlo is one of the most popular and beginner-friendly carpeting plants in modern aquascaping. Its small, round green leaves spread quickly across the substrate, forming a dense, bright carpet that transforms any aquarium into a lush underwater landscape.
Unlike more demanding carpet plants, Monte Carlo is easier to grow and maintain, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced aquascapers. With medium to high light and CO₂ supplementation, it forms a low, compact mat, while in low-tech setups it still thrives with slightly taller growth.

Easy and reliable carpeting plant for all skill levels
Small, round leaves create a vibrant green carpet
Faster and less demanding than HC or Glossostigma
Thrives with CO₂ and good lighting, adaptable to low-tech tanks
Perfect for nano tanks, foregrounds, and natural aquascapes
Pot Size: Standard aquarium potted plant
Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate

Monte Carlo is the ideal carpeting plant for aquascapers who want stunning results with less effort, offering lush greenery and professional style in any aquarium.
