✂️ Care

Gently rinse off the culture gel under lukewarm water. Divide the plant into small portions and plant them with tweezers at ±2 cm intervals in the substrate. The plant grows creeping and thus forms a continuous carpet. Regular trimming encourages horizontal growth.

💡 Planting tip

For a full carpet in a 60 cm tank, we recommend 3–4 cups. Combines beautifully with rocks or driftwood and with Eleocharis parvula for a varied foreground.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Can I keep Monte Carlo without CO₂?
Yes, you can. Without CO₂, the plant grows slower, but still forms a carpet with sufficient light.

How many cups do I need for a full carpet?
Count on ±1 cup per 15×15 cm of bottom surface. For a tank of 60 cm wide, you typically need 3–4 cups.

My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, In Vitro plants are grown above water and adapt. Give the plant 1–2 weeks. For persistent problems: contact us.

Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes — especially as In Vitro, ideal for shrimp tanks, completely free of pests.
