Micranthemum umbrosum is a beautiful plant with small round leaves. It
is suitable for small or large aquariums. Relatively demanding in terms of
light. CO2 addition is recommended to promote growth. Once the plant
starts growing it grows fast, and the shoots have to be pinched out often (can
be planted as cuttings in the bottom). Most beautiful in groups of many stems.
