100% SAFE for Shrimps - No Snails- No Algae - No Pesticide - In Vitro Plants
Hemianthus micranthemoides can be used for foreground, midground depending on the size of the tank and condition in which it grows. Leaving the plant without trimming allow it to grow vertically as a midground plant or even background plant in nano tanks. Frequent pruning will keep it low and plants will spread runners horizontally. For more bushy effect this plant would require higher light and CO2. With lower light plant still will grow but it will not be that compact. It's stems are from 10-20 cm tall, 2-3 cm wide.

How to plant in vitro plants?
Please follow the short instructions:
1. Gently wash plant from gel or liquid under cold tap water,
2. Split plants into smaller parts (use scissors - usually used for carpet plants - e.g. Hemianthus, eleocharis etc),
3. Plant the plant in the aquarium (use tweezers).
Any Microsorum , Bolbitis, Bucephalandra , Anubias and moss should be attached to wood or stone or other ornaments with a fishing line. (glue can be used for mosses).
Riccia - you can make a carpet using a mesh, fishing line (check google or youtube).
There are several floating plants at this listing that you only need to wash.
Other plants need to be planted in substrate , it is best to use tweezers.
Laboratories are still working on new nutrients and therefore the color or size may differ from the photos. Therefore, they can do not look like in the pictures. Plants will take their natural look in the aquarium. The picture is only illustrative.
The size of the plant shows how big it can grow in the aquarium. That gives information to the buyers where to position plant in the aquarium.
