Tropica Micranthemum Monte-Carlo 1-2-GROW!

Very good quality, but I did find it very hard to plant, and I had a lot of plant melting but new growth has started and I’m excited to see how it carpets.

The plants were in excellent condition and I divided the mass into eight pieces. All are planted in the foreground and appear to be doing well although it is early days. Will certainly use you again - I made a mistake on my original order but you corrected my error without difficulty. Thanks.

not given enough time to give a fair rating as to how they are growing, so far satisfied with the results.

Very good condition and growing well after only a few weeks

It came in ex condition, and now looks great in my new tank, off to buy more.

Though the leaves and stems, whilst small, were very healthy, the issue is when you come to plant it. There are no roots to speak of and even when cutting the mat into smaller squares to plant, when pushing into the substrate, the individual plants come loose and end up floating. I have more floating in my tank than actually planted. Wi never buy or recommend this again. When I complained to Aquaessentials, was unhelpfully told:
"The TC version of monte is certainly trickier than the potted in terms of planting. But once it starts to grow, it’s an easy plant which is undemanding.

The trick to this plant in the TC form is to leave it in clumps and then push it deep into the substrate - otherwise it has a tendency to float. Try sprinkling substrate or gravel gently over the top which helps hold it down.

The potted version is easier as you can leave rock wool on it which allows it to be anchored down making it less likely to float."

This would have been useful information for Aquaessentials to include on the product page rather than sending emails claiming it's one of the easiest plants to grow. Has definitely made me think twice about ordering from here again and I certainly don't intend to buy any more TC products.

Tropica 1-2 Grow are the best in the business. Highly recommended.
Aqua Essentials are amazing to do business with, excellent products at a good price.

Very pleased with how many plants are in a pot

Great product, we devided the plant up and planted around our aquarium, it was a little bit fidly but looks great and it's already growing and spreading fast! Very pleased even the few bits that came away from the substrate continued to grow and have now been replanted I would buy again

Super little plant, the plants arrive in the little container in such a healthy state, planted in the substrate and are now visibly spreading around the front of the tank

Have used this plant as a staple "filler" for years. With decent light and CO2 it forms a good carpet. Also works well when clumps are wedged in-between stones which it will cling to and crawl over. Frequent trimming will result in smaller leaves if you want a look more akin to "Cuba" rather than "Monte Carlo"

Very happy with the quality of these 1-2 grow plants.
Looks to have settled in quickly but only time will tell if this will grow well in my low light/tall tank.

Only planted this in my aquarium last Thursday (Monday today) and so far it is doing fine. I don\'t anticipate any problems with it.

Plants arrived in perfect condition.

Brilliant low maintenance carpet plant, I provide my plants using liquid carbon and npk fertiliser and within 2 weeks you see a big change! Within 4-6 weeks my carpet is near complete!

Excellent healthy plants, arrived very quickly, well packaged - recommended!

Not impressed with this one, maybe its my aquarium conditions I don\'t know but they haven\'t seemed to grow at all, they are still healthy looking but just not growing very much at all.

Arrived in perfect condition,growing really well excellent service as always

FANTASTIC!! the pot might not look like much but you get quite a lot don't worry about the price.... it's worth it. it's extremely healthy and as easy as 1 2 grow.

Nice plants,fast shipment,fast delivery

Fantastic product came in great condition in tank now waiting to grow

Early days yet only a week in, planted as explained by Aqua Essentials and showing some early signs of growing but I think this will be a slow grower just hoping it covers the bottom of my tank.

Great little plant which arrived in perfect condition and was simple to plant. Wash the root gel off the bottom, cut up into small squares (I did mine about 1-1.5cm square) and plant around the foreground of the tank. The squares have already started growing a few days later.

excellent plant grow's very quick.

excellent condition and grows very quick.

Just spot on for the job inhand

Arrived in perfect condition and is now thriving.

Love the plant! Came in all healthy!
