Care Tips: Micranthemum callitrichoides 'Cuba', also known as "Cuba Dwarf Pearlgrass," is a fast-growing foreground plant that forms a dense, lush carpet in aquariums. It requires high lighting to thrive and CO₂ injection to encourage robust growth and vibrant coloration. A nutrient-rich substrate or regular fertilization is essential for optimal growth. This plant can be a bit demanding in terms of care, but it rewards the aquascaper with a beautiful, fine-textured carpet that provides a lush green look. Regular trimming is necessary to keep it neat and prevent it from growing too tall. It’s perfect for the foreground, where its compact growth habit and vibrant green color will make it stand out in your aquascape.
