Product description

About the species

Hygrophila pinnatifida comes from India. It gets brown mottled leaves on the surface with a distinct burgundy colored underside. If the upper shoots are cut off, it forms several horizontal shoots, which gives a compact and attractive growth. The horizontal shoots attach easily to both wood and stones.

Growth is moderate, stems reach 15-40 cm high and 10-20 cm wide, and the color is attractive when planted in small groups against a plain background. Intense lighting ensures compact growth due to the plant's slow to medium growth rate.

FAQ about Hygrophila pinnatifida

How do I plant Hygrophila pinnatifida?

Remove the plant from the cup, gently rinse away the nutrient gel and divide it into several small portions. Plant them with some space between each portion so they can establish.

Is Hygrophila pinnatifida free from snails and algae?

In vitro plants are grown under sterile conditions and normally arrive free from snails, algae and pesticides, making them suitable for sensitive shrimp aquariums.

Does Hygrophila pinnatifida need CO₂?

Requirements depend on the species. CO₂ and balanced plant nutrition often produce denser, healthier growth, but follow the light and care requirements in the product description.

What matters during the first few weeks?

Provide stable lighting and nutrition, avoid major changes and remove deteriorating leaves. Newly planted specimens often need time to adapt to submerged growth.
