With its small round leaves just a few millimeters in diameter, Hemianthus Callitrichoides, which is among the smallest aquatic plants that exist, spreads on the bottom of the aquarium.
The plant is not difficult, but it requires good light conditions, added CO2, water circulation and fertilizing to develop.
Often, small bubbles or oxygen pearls are deposited on top of the plants, giving this ground cover a very lively appearance.
Planted by small boots with a few centimeters apart, she is able to completely line the soil from the tank in no time. If the conditions are not met, we can try the Micranthemum 'Monte-Carlo' which requires much less. Put it regularly, otherwise the lower parts may perish and lose their grip on the ground.
Hemianthus callichoides is an attractive leading plant for small aquariums. Originally from Cuba west of Havana.
