Plant Hemianthus micranthemoides in groups of 5–10 stems for the best visual impact. Medium to high lighting and CO₂ will encourage compact, bushy growth and prevent the stems from becoming leggy.
Lobelia cardinalis is one of the most beginner-friendly stem plants available, tolerating a wide range of lighting and water conditions. It grows more compactly under higher light and develops more intense purple colouration on the leaf undersides.
Rotala wallichii is best grown in groups of 5–10 stems for maximum visual impact. It prefers soft, slightly acidic water and benefits greatly from CO₂ injection and high lighting to achieve its signature pink-red colouration.
Divide the tissue culture portion into small clumps and plant them 1–2 cm apart directly into a fine, nutrient-rich substrate. Monte Carlo spreads via runners and will gradually knit together into a lush, seamless carpet
