AquaArt Micranthemum micranthemoides

Micranthemum micranthemoide or Whorl-Leaved Pearlwort grows in two forms depending on the light: Strong light promotes creeping growth, the stem plant then forms dense carpets; in average light it grows as a dense bush up to 20 cm high. A versatile plant, decorative as a solitary and in group arrangements. It also scores with low maintenance and fast growth - a good tip for impatient underwater gardeners who appreciate small-leaved, dense green plants!

• Light requirement: medium to intensive

Note: Cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterilely. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimps and can be used immediately. In vitro plants have no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are not used at all.

With this attractive plant, you should consider in advance whether it should be planted creeping in the foreground or as a bush in the middle ground and whether the light conditions meet your wishes!
