Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba' 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 requires good conditions such as enough light, added CO2, water circulation and fertilizer to thrive. If planted in small clumps a few centimetres apart, it will spread rapidly and cover the bottom like a carpet. Trim the carpet regularly, otherwise the lower parts will not get enough light causing root death.
Includes: 3 x Hemianthus Callitrichoides 'Cuba' Grow Cups.
