Monte Carlo Care Guide 

Lighting: 

Monte Carlo achieves optimal growth and coverage in medium to high lighting conditions. When provided with the proper lighting conditions Monte Carlo covers surfaces rapidly and with dense growth.
Even though Monte Carlo develops a vertical growth pattern instead of carpeting in low light conditions it remains completely adorable!

Substrate: 

Requires nutrient-dense substrate for developing healthy root systems. Delicate root structures require fine-grain substrates to establish secure anchoring.

Water Parameters: 

Temperature: 20-28°C (68-82°F) 
pH: 6.0-7.5 
Monte Carlo shows its best appearance when grown in gentle to moderately hard water conditions.

Fertilization and CO2: 

The plant remains vibrant through consistent application of liquid fertilizers and root tabs.
Although CO2 supplementation isn't required it provides powerful growth enhancement which leads to a lush and dense carpet.

Planting Tips: 

Carefully divide the plant into tiny clumps and utilize tweezers for planting to ensure even spacing.
Keep clumps spaced several centimeters apart so they spread successfully.

Maintenance: 

Regular trimming helps maintain a tidy carpet appearance while promoting horizontal spreading.
While performing water changes use a gentle vacuum to clean around the carpet.
