Overview:
Hydrocotyle tripartita is a fast-growing, vibrant green plant known for its distinctive clover-shaped leaves and creeping growth habit. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is cultivated in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.
Its energetic growth and bright colour make it a popular choice for creating lush foreground or midground coverage in aquascapes. When allowed to trail across the substrate or hardscape, Hydrocotyle tripartita adds movement, texture, and a fresh natural look.
Care and Growth:
This plant thrives under medium to high lighting and benefits from CO₂ injection, which helps keep growth low and compact. Without CO₂, it may grow taller and less dense. A nutrient-rich substrate and regular liquid fertilisation support healthy, vigorous growth.
Propagation is simple and fast: trim runners or stems and replant them into the substrate. With regular trimming, Hydrocotyle tripartita can be shaped to suit a wide range of aquascaping styles.
