Echinodorus tenellus ‘micro’

Echinodorus tenellus ‘micro’ (Common name: Micro Tennelus) is a great carpeting plant for high-tech aquariums because it has a lot of nutrients and a lot of CO₂.

Considering the “Micro” in its name, E. Tenellus “Micro” can grow quite tall in bright light;

The leaf blades of the “Micro” E. Tenellus are significantly thinner than those of the regular variety.

Overall, Echinodorus Tenellus “Micro” is a great carpeting plant. It’s especially good for people who want a pretty unusual carpeting plant because it’s rarely found in local fish stores or among hobbyists.

This plant requires fertile soil and a rich substrate. Because of its smaller granule size, ADA Aqua Soil Powder Type is ideal for carpeting plants and other small plants. This means that plant parts can be safely and securely inserted into the product. Additionally, these plants’ roots can more easily penetrate the smaller granule sizes, resulting in faster, healthier growth.

Care Tips

• This plant requires a rich substrate as well as regular fertilization. For optimal results, use ADA Aqua Soil Powder Type.
• Plant the portions into the substrate in the shape of the number 5 on the dice for best results.
