Dense, bright green coverage for stunning foregrounds. Micranthemum umbrosum is a popular foreground plant that forms a dense, vibrant carpet. Small round leaves create a lush green mat that brings any aquascape to life.
CO₂ and moderate to high light strongly recommended for compact carpet growth. Without CO₂, tends to grow upward. Trim every 2–3 weeks to maintain density.
✂️ Propagation: Spreads via runners. Split and replant clumps to fill faster. Easy.
