Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' is a carpeting plant which is typically used by aquarists to achieve lush foreground cover. It is a low-growing plant with bright green, rounded leaves. It will creep laterally along the substrate as it grows along and can also be used overhanging on decor or rocks. Monte Carlo does not require much beyond medium to higher lighting and fertilizer to thrive. Once it takes off, it will fill in nicely to form a soft carpet for shrimp and bottom dwellers to enjoy.

    How to Plant Monte Carlo in Aquarium

    1. Remove the potted plant from plastic basket, and split the rock wool in half.
    2. Wash off any remaining debris, and gently separate the plant into multiple small clumps, leaving a small portion of rock wool on each clump to serve as an anchor.
    3. Use planting tweezers or your fingers to push the rock wool and roots of each plant clump into the substrate until they are completely buried. (Because the roots are weak, you can also plant monte carlo in the pot, such that the pot is entirely buried in the ground. Then it can creep laterally and grow upwards once it is done converting to its underwater growth form.)
    4. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the plant at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the plant to keep it anchored.
    5. Make sure to add lots of root tabs if you’re using inert substrate or if your nutrient-rich substrate is depleted.

    How to Grow Monte Carlo Aquarium Plant

    — Monte carlo plant care requires medium skill level, so start by using medium to high lighting between 20-50+ PAR. 
    — Why is my monte carlo plant melting?  Plants are grown out of the water at the farm. Once the plants arrive to us, we begin the process of converting them to their underwater form. The plant you receive may be half-converted and still need time to adjust to life under water. To help the plant recover faster and grow new leaves that are accustomed to your water parameters, leave the roots planted in the ground and make sure to provide nutrient-rich planted tank substrate or Easy Root Tabs
    — Why is my monte carlo turning yellow? If your plant is getting enough light, it may be a nutrient deficiency. If the leaves are yellowing or turning pale after a couple of months, please add more root tabs.
    — How to trim monte carlo: If the plant has dying or melting leaves, cut them off at the base of the leaf. If you wish to prune your monte carlo carpet to look like a field of grass, use curved scissors to cut all of the leaves to an even height, much like mowing a lawn.

    How to Propagate Monte Carlo Plant

    Once it becomes well-established, monte carlo self-propagates by sending out runners all across the substrate, which can eventually provide ground cover for an entire aquarium. The new baby plants can be trimmed off and replanted or left to grow out naturally.

    My dog LOVES this ball
    Size: Medium, Size: Medium
    Does your dog destroy tennis balls in seconds? Yes? Then your dog NEEDS this ball! It's squishy like a tennis ball, fits in ball launchers (even the cheap ones) and bounces when it hits the ground. My dog has been literally playing with this ball all day and not a single mark on it! The only bad thing is that it does not float. Definitely worth the money! Put it in your cart!

    Perfect for ball demolishers
    Size: Medium
    The dogs love the chuck it brand. I don’t know what it’s made of but they go crazy over them. Will not play with another ball. Wonder if it’s “laced” with an addictive scent. Have pits. Very durable. Not able to chew to pieces. Last for about 6 months before there is a small break. I keep a back up because when the ball goes missing the house is in chaos. 😆 🤪

    Chuckit medium rebound balls
    Size: Medium
    My 8 month old German shepherd dog loves these balls. They are easy to throw, they bounce great, they are very chewable! She keeps one in her mouth most of the time. It satisfies her need to chew and she does not chew other things. She drops it in the water and lets the hole fill up and drinks that way. The only problem that has caused is suction in her mouth and difficulty in dislodging it for her. However, she would be lost without it!

    These are definitely indestructible
    Size: Medium
    Both of my dogs can destroy a ball in a matter of minutes if I let them play with them (supervised) as is. Well not with these balls. They are the ONLY ones I have found that are 100% indestructible. Please only let your dogs play with these as a toy when supervised though. They go really far when throwing them, so both dogs get a good amount of running and exercise with these. I also bought these because they have the hole in the middle of the ball which is very important in the event that a dog gets one stuck at the back of their throat. This allows them to breath unlike those without this hold. It's an unlikely event, but as dog owners, we all need to be aware of this and educate ourselves on what to do if this SHOULD happen. This isn't a scare tactic, nor a reflection of this particular brand, it can happen with any type of ball. My two dogs are about 45ish lbs and the size is perfect for them, I don't want anything smaller than this. They love them. There is no annoying squeak. Really easy to wash after use. Some balls take forever to get the slimy saliva off, but these don't.
