MICRANTHEMUM UMBROSUM – Oval-Leaved Midground Aquarium Plant – In Vitro Cultivation
Micranthemum umbrosum is an elegant and fast-growing aquatic plant from North and Central America, characterized by its small, oval-shaped, bright green leaves. Perfect for the midground section of aquariums, it grows up to 20 cm tall and forms dense, bushy clusters when planted in small tufts, offering flexibility in aquascape design.
With moderate light and CO₂ requirements, this stem plant grows quickly and creates natural, flowing forms that enhance depth and contrast in the aquascape. When propagated properly, it forms uniform plant groups that integrate beautifully into both minimalist and lush layouts.
The in vitro version ensures a high level of purity and safety: free from snails, algae, parasites, and pesticides, it is ideal for aquariums housing shrimp or other sensitive invertebrates. The high-quality gel medium supports rapid rooting and easy adaptation once planted.
