Product details

The Micranthemum callitrichoides, also known as “HC” or dwarf baby tears, is one of the smallest and most popular carpeting plants in aquascaping. Its tiny, bright green leaves create a beautiful, dense carpet that gives aquariums a fresh, natural look. Grown in-vitro, this plant is free of pests, algae, and pathogens, ensuring a clean, healthy start for your aquascape.

Key Features:

Tiny, Dense Leaves: Micranthemum callitrichoides features miniature, round leaves that form a lush, vibrant green carpet, making it perfect for creating a seamless foreground in aquascapes.
Ideal Carpet Plant: Its low growth habit and fast spreading nature make it one of the best choices for a compact and vibrant green carpet in the foreground of an aquarium.
In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, this plant is free from snails, algae, and contaminants, ensuring a healthy start for your tank.
Aquascaping Essential: Perfect for foreground and nano tanks, providing a soft and even carpet effect that enhances the overall aesthetics of the aquarium.

Care Requirements:

Lighting: Micranthemum callitrichoides requires high lighting to grow compact and spread evenly across the substrate. Without adequate light, the plant may grow vertically and lose its compact form.
CO2: CO2 supplementation is essential for maintaining a healthy, dense carpet. It significantly enhances growth speed and helps the plant spread quickly across the substrate.
Water Parameters: This plant thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 5.0-7.5 and temperatures between 20-28°C. Nutrient-rich water and substrate will support faster growth and better coloration.
Trimming: Regular trimming helps maintain the compact carpet and encourages new growth. Trimming also prevents the plant from becoming overgrown and keeps it looking neat.

Planting Tips:

Rinse the plant thoroughly to remove any nutrient gel before planting.
Divide the plant into small portions and plant them evenly across the substrate for faster spreading and even coverage.
Provide strong lighting and CO2 to promote rapid growth and ensure the plant establishes a dense, vibrant carpet.
