In Vitro - Cup: Guaranteed to be free of pathogens, snails, algae and vermin

Cryptocoryne parva is the smallest Cryptocoryne currently known. It usually needs more light than many other Cryptocoryne species. It grows slowly and has very narrow leaves. Cryptocoryne parva is planted in the ground with little spacing and develops a coherent and low carpet after a few months. Due to its slow growth, it is also very well suited for setting accents in the foreground when planted individually.

Hydrocotyle tripartita "Japan" originally comes from Japan, as the name suggests, and is a creeping or hanging plant. It is one of the most popular aquatic plants in aquaristics and stands out with its light green color and clover-like leaf shape.

Anubias barteri var. "Pangolino" is one of the smallest-leaved Anubias varieties and is still relatively new in aquaristics. With its very small, narrow leaves and compact habit, it is ideal for nano aquariums and for setting fine details in aquascapes. Anubias Pangolino is very robust and does not necessarily need a CO2 supplement, although this promotes plant growth. It is a very beautiful epiphyte, which looks great attached to the hardscape.

Micranthemum tweediei "Monte Carlo" (also known as "New Large Pearl Grass") is an easy-care plant that is ideal for use as a ground cover. A few years ago, the Monte Carlo was a rarity, which has since developed into one of the most popular plants in aquaristics. It grows creeping to overhanging and does not need too much light, which makes it a good alternative to Hemianthus callitrichoides "Cuba". Over time, the plant forms a dense carpet, which should be shortened regularly so that it does not run the risk of detaching from the substrate at some point.
