Hygrophila Pinnatifida
Hygrophila pinnatifida is an unusual, versatile plant with deeply lobed, fern-like leaves in olive-to-bronze tones and burgundy undersides. Uniquely for a Hygrophila, it can be attached to wood or rock as an epiphyte or planted in substrate, and it sends out side shoots that creep and spread across hardscape. A textural standout for the midground with plenty of scaping flexibility.
Care level: Moderate · Placement: Midground/Epiphyte (on wood/rock) · Lighting: Medium-High · CO2: Beneficial · Growth rate: Moderate · Propagation: side shoots
