MICRANTHEMUM UMBROSUM – Round-Leaved Aquarium Plant for Foreground and Midground
Micranthemum umbrosum is a charming and delicate aquatic plant native to the United States, well-known for its small, round, bright green leaves. It is suitable for both small and large aquariums, and its upright growth makes it ideal for use in foreground or midground areas where a soft, bushy appearance is desired.
The stems of Micranthemum umbrosum typically grow 10 to 25 cm tall and 1–2 cm wide. The plant thrives under moderate to high light and greatly benefits from added CO₂, which boosts its growth rate and intensifies its vibrant color. Once established, it grows quickly and requires regular trimming to maintain shape and encourage lateral shoots. Cuttings can be replanted to propagate new growth easily, making it a versatile choice for natural aquascaping layouts.
Best displayed in dense groups, Micranthemum umbrosum adds texture, freshness, and brightness to underwater scenes, contributing to a lush and harmonious aquascape.
