Overview:

Hygrophila pinnatifida is a unique and highly decorative aquarium plant, recognised for its deeply lobed, fern-like leaves and striking colouration that ranges from olive green to reddish-brown. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is grown in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.

Unlike typical stem plants, Hygrophila pinnatifida can grow both rooted in the substrate and attached to hardscape, making it extremely versatile in aquascaping. Its trailing side shoots and textured foliage add depth, contrast, and a natural, aged look to layouts.

Care and Growth:

This plant prefers medium to high lighting and benefits greatly from CO₂ injection, which encourages compact growth and enhances leaf colour. Stable water parameters and regular liquid fertilisation are important to prevent legginess and maintain healthy foliage.

Propagation is simple: trim side shoots or stems and replant or reattach them to hardscape. Hygrophila pinnatifida responds well to pruning and will produce new lateral growth with proper care.
