MICRANTHEMUM MICRANTHEMOIDES – Light Green Midground Plant with Bushy Growth – Tropica 1-2-Grow!
Micranthemum micranthemoides, also known as "Duży Heniek", is a bright green aquatic plant with small, rounded leaves that form a dense, bushy cluster. Native to Cuba and the southern regions of North America, it is perfect for the midground or background in small to medium aquariums, where it adds natural texture and balance to planted layouts.
This plant grows moderately and reaches up to 30 cm in height. With medium lighting and a steady CO₂ supply, it forms a compact, harmonious group of stems. Its delicate yet dense structure makes it ideal for contrasting textures in aquascaping, especially when paired with carpeting plants or taller background species.
The Tropica 1-2-Grow! version is cultivated in vitro, free from snails, algae, and pesticides, making it entirely safe for shrimp and sensitive fish. It quickly adapts to the aquarium environment thanks to the high-quality gel medium used in its sterile cup.
