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.
