Hottonia palustris

Hottonia palustris , also known as "marsh forget-me-not", is an attractive and remarkable aquatic plant that is often used in aquariums and garden ponds. It is characterized by its fine, feathery leaves, which can take on a green to slightly reddish color and give an elegant, delicate appearance.

This plant is relatively easy to care for and grows best in nutrient-rich, soft to medium hard water. It prefers bright lighting to thrive optimally and benefits from regular CO2 fertilization to aid growth.

Hottonia palustris is great for the foreground or midground of aquariums, where it adds interesting texture and color. Its ability to grow in a variety of water conditions makes it a versatile choice for aquarists who want to create a natural and vibrant environment. Regular pruning promotes healthy growth and a compact shape.
