Micranthemum Callitrichoides, formerly known as Hemianthus Callitrichoides, is the ideal carpet plant. One of the tiniest aquatic plants now on the market, this species is the ideal flora for producing the lush foreground found in many beautiful aquascapes. The enormous fields of green, when planted in Iwagumi patterns, can captivate any audience.
Aquariums with dry starts and Wabi Kusa are good places for dwarf baby tears or HC to grow submerged or emersed. This plant can be challenging to maintain planted into the substrate due to its small size and tiny roots. By giving the roots enough time to set down in the substrate before flooding the tank, dry start can be helpful in this situation.
Despite the fact that some people have had success growing HC in smaller tanks with liquid carbon like Excel, this species needs the addition of CO2 to thrive. Without CO2, it might be challenging to produce thick, lush carpets for extended periods of time; fertilizer is advised. to keep a pleasing foreground.
