Common Name: Micranthemum Tweediei Pearl White, Micranthemum Monte Carlo White 

Micranthemum Tweediei 'Pearl White' is a lighter variation of the carpeting plant, Micranthemum Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo is a popular choice for hobbyists of all skill levels due to its growth rate and easier care requirements when compared to other types of carpeting aquarium plants. Micranthemum Tweediei 'Pearl White' provides the same growth patterns and can produce a thick, compact carpet when grown in optimal conditions. Moderate to high lighting along with CO2 injection and a quality aquatic plant fertilizing regime are highly recommended to grow this variety. If lighting is not sufficient, Monte Carlo will become leggy and growth will be sparse as the plant reaches for the light source.

Key Features & Important Notes:

  • Refrain from making drastic or sudden changes to the aquarium. Unstable parameters contribute to melt and rotting of aquarium plants.
  • Remove growing medium before planting tissue culture plants.
  • Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.

Great

"Arrived healthy and is doing great in my tank! I'll continue to buy tissue cultures from here"

Great Quality, DSM patience

"I’ve ordered from Buce four times now, and I’ve been extremely impressed with both their products and customer service. Everything has always arrived in good condition, and they’ve been great to work with. That said, I fully understand the sensitivity of ordering live plants online, so I go into it with realistic expectations. For this setup, I purchased four cups of standard green TC Monte Carlo and added this one cup of the white variant for a bit of contrast and focal interest. I cleaned, separated, and planted all five into UNS Controsoil and started a dry start method (DSM). I’m 19 days in, I did experience some melt across all plants, which is pretty normal. The green Monte Carlo has bounced back quicker and is already starting to establish in spots with visible new growth. The white variant has been slower to recover, but I expect it to recover eventually. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase. With a little patience, everything looks like it’s heading in the right direction. Always recommend Buce!"

Brown and rotting

"Unfortunately, this tissue culture arrived brown and smelly. We tried to clean and acclimate it after discussing with Buce "just in case" it was salvageable, but the plant spent the following week dumping ammonia as it continued to rot away. This was a VERY unique situation - we've have 14 UNS tissue cultures and 11 plants delivered from Buceplant in the last 1.5 years, and this is the ONLY DOA.we've ever received."

All Three Were Rotten!

"BP usually has super healthy tissue culture but the three I bought on sale were rotten. I guess that’s why they were on sale🤣 I live in LA so regular shipping gets here in one day."
