Hygrophila Pinnatifida is a distinctive and visually captivating aquarium plant known for its deeply lobed, fern-like leaves and striking coloration. Originating from India, this versatile plant can be grown as a midground feature, attached to hardscape, or even as an epiphyte on driftwood or rocks. With its reddish-brown to deep green foliage and creeping growth habit, Hygrophila Pinnatifida adds texture and contrast to any aquascape.

Key Features

  • Unique Fern-Like Leaves: Creates an intricate and natural aquascape appearance.
  • Vibrant Coloration: Displays shades of green, brown, and red depending on lighting and nutrients.
  • Versatile Growth: Can be planted in substrate or attached to driftwood and rocks.
  • Creeping Growth Pattern: Spreads laterally, forming a dynamic, structured layout.
  • Hardy & Adaptable: Tolerates a range of water conditions with minimal maintenance.

Care Tips

  • Lighting: Moderate to high lighting encourages rich coloration and compact growth.

  • Water Conditions: Prefers a pH range of 6.0–7.5 and soft to moderately hard water.
  • Substrate & Attachment: Can be rooted in substrate or attached to hardscape; if planted, provide a nutrient-rich substrate for best results.
  • Trimming & Maintenance: Regular trimming promotes lateral growth and prevents excessive height.
  • Propagation: Easily propagated by cutting stems and replanting them.
