ADA IC202 HYDROPHILA PINNATIFIDA | Aquarium Live Plant

This plant originates from India and has become quite common in the hobby in recent years (2010 +) as it is stocked and farmed by most large aquatic plant nurseries.Hygrophila pinnatifida's fern-like appearance allows it to blend well with mosses and wood. It requires very frequent trimming to prevent it from shading the rest of the surrounding plants. This plant looks redder on the leaf underside. The photograph above is the top view of the same bunch of plants below. Because it doesn't require a substrate, it is often planted higher up on hard scape which then offer us the attractive underside view of leaves.
