Micranthemum umbrosum is a beautiful plant from the USA with small round leaves. It is suitable for small or large aquariums with stems that are 10-25 cm long and 1-2 cm wide. Relatively demanding in terms of lighting. CO2 addition will promote growth.
Once the plant starts to grow, it grows quickly, and the shoots need to be pinched out often (can be planted as cuttings in the soil). Most beautiful in groups with many stems.

Divide the moss into thin portions and attach it to rock or wood with thread or aquarium-safe glue. Thin layers receive better circulation and usually grow more evenly.
Most aquarium mosses grow without added CO₂, but steady CO₂, balanced nutrition and stable lighting can produce denser growth.
Trim regularly and remove loose pieces and debris. Good circulation around the moss reduces trapped dirt that can inhibit growth.
Yes, moss provides a large biofilm grazing area and fine hiding places for shrimplets. Always check that the plant is clean before adding it to the aquarium.
