► In this video I will show you how I take care of my Mixed Carpeting Plants foreground in my IAPLC 2019 60x50x40cm scape.
Micranthemum tweediei 'Monte Carlo' can be a weed and will easily overgrow other carpeting plants, specially such as slow growing Marsilea crenata or hirsuta sp.
To maintain a nice looking mixed carpet and not just everything Micranthemum Monte Carlo, you have to do some maintenance once in a while.
Watch my video to learn how I remove excess Monte Carlo from the Marsilea section and which tools are best for Micranthemum Monte Carlo Care.
Cheers
Jurijs

1:17 "it doesn't float up" while plant in tank floats up 🤣👍 Very nice scape and good info, thank you.

@rponce78 5 лет назад

"it doesn't float up" meaning it doesn't have a tendency to detach when left to grow a thick carpet

@luisg1653 5 лет назад

@@rponce78 I'm sure that floater was from his trimming but the timing was excellent..

Did not have much education on carpeting plants. Saw this at my local store under a different name. At first it was hard for me to tell if it is that or not. But now after two weeks, it just grew a thin, yet beautiful carpet and it definetly is this species. Love this plant.

@JurijsJutjajevs 3 года назад

There are quite a few plants that look very similar while in juvenile stage

@Kyleman51 3 года назад

@@JurijsJutjajevs the carpet is now around 1.5 cm thick and all the new growth looks the same. It was sold under the name Mircanthemum Mircathemoides, which grows vertically. Mine grows flush to the substrate with roots coming out from each node, creating a strong carpet. Does not look like dwarf baby tears either.

@JurijsJutjajevs 5 лет назад

I wouldn't use MMC and hairgrass again. MMC will overpower it easily. If you want to mix hair grass - use HC, if you want to mix Montecarlo use Sagittaria subulate or helanthium tenellum green

@pixiemeat5110 5 лет назад

ok i'll try using the tenellum instead of hairgrass =) thanks so much for the advice i really appreciate it... if i please ask one thing though..? how long would you use powersand special and amazonia before replacing it? i'm rescaping my 60p after 18 months and just wondering if i should keep the substrate or replace it? (was previously a "medium" tech scape, c02 but pretty low/medium light) no carpet just crypts and very pink h'ra in the back. (2 litres of powersand special and soil is about 1 1/2 inches deep in the front and about 4 inches deep in the back) thanks again jurijs

@JurijsJutjajevs 5 лет назад

I would definitely replace the soil, the PowerSand you can reuse if you want to keep budget low. If you can afford, replace both

@pixiemeat5110 5 лет назад

thanks again for your advice Jurijs i will replace them =) one last question? last one i promise! will the nerites, amano's and cherry shrimp i currently have in there be ok during the first week or so while the soil is leeching ammonia and with the tank lacking biofilm? thanks again so much for your advice.

@JurijsJutjajevs 5 лет назад

Hey Jurijs I have a quick question if you don't mind answering. I'm currently growing a Monte Carlo carpet, well working on it. I got a pot from tissue culture and while I see a lot of new growth, some of the old growth from the pot is not doing so well. Should I trim away the old growth or let it be? Thank you for the video, can't believe how thick Monte Carlo get XD It's kind of ridiculous

@JurijsJutjajevs 5 лет назад

I couldn’t believe my self that it was growing this tall and I’ve been able to trim and rescue the carpet. In your case its depends if the new growth is already well rooted. Trimming loose parts can uproot the new growth

Eh. I still can't grow monte carlo at all. It always melts even if I've a base of Tropica Soil. I find glosso to be *much* easier to grow than monte carlo. For me it's mostly eleocharis parvula (pussila) and glossostigma. I've had very little luck with other carpets. At least when it comes to fast spreading carpets. Marsileas sort of trudge on in my tanks but never spread that much. Same with lilaeopsis species.

@@JurijsJutjajevs I've a TDS meter with EC switch that says 136 microsiemens (or 68 ppm on the TDS side but that's Na calibrated) so it's quite soft. GH is about 3 or less but I'm using seachem equilibrium to boost it slightly. My CO2 is stable but I don't have accurate measurement of it. Still it's enough to grow glosso nicely in Tropica soil tanks.
