Hemianthus callitrichoides is one of the smallest aquarium plants in the world, and creeps over the bottom with millimetre-sized, round leaves. Hemianthus callitrichoides is an attractive and popular foreground plant for small aquariums.

It is not a difficult plant, but it requires good conditions such as enough light, added CO2, water circulation and fertilizer to thrive. If these conditions are hard to create, you may use Micranthemum ‘Monte-Carlo’ as an alternative, as it is less demanding.

Small pearls or bubbles of oxygen are often produced on top of the plants, adding a very lively aspect to the carpet.

If planted in small clumps a few centimetres apart, it will spread rapidly and cover the bottom like a carpet.

Grown in nutrient rich agar jelly, free from pests, disease and algae.
Produced in a purpose built sterile laboratory by professional horticulturalists.
Superior quality with established root systems and fuller pots.
 
Suitable for nano-aquariums.

Before planting rinse off all the Agar (jelly) and separate into smaller bunches.
Each pot is 75mm in diameter and packed full of healthy plants.
