Common Name: Micranthemum Tweediei Pearl White, Micranthemum Monte Carlo White
Micranthemum Tweediei ‘Pearl White’ is a lighter variation of the carpeting plant, Micranthemum Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo is a popular choice for hobbyists of all skill levels due to its growth rate and easier care requirements when compared to other types of carpeting aquarium plants. Micranthemum Tweediei ‘Pearl White’ provides the same growth patterns and can produce a thick, compact carpet when grown in optimal conditions. Moderate to high lighting along with CO2 injection and a quality aquatic plant fertilizing regime are highly recommended to grow this variety. If lighting is not sufficient, Monte Carlo will become leggy and growth will be sparse as the plant reaches for the light source.
Key Features & Important Notes:
- Refrain from making drastic or sudden changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters contribute to melt and rotting of aquarium plants.
- Remove growing medium before planting tissue culture plants.
- Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
