Hygrophila pinnatifida

Hygrophila pinnatifida is a fascinating aquarium plant characterized by its unique, pinnate leaves. This plant has a bushy growth habit and can provide an interesting structure in various aquarium layouts.

It thrives best in nutrient-rich substrates and requires bright light for optimal growth.

This species is well suited to the mid and background of aquariums and can be planted as a single plant or in groups. Regular pruning is important to encourage compact growth and keep the plant in shape. With its striking appearance and relatively easy care, Hygrophila pinnatifida is a popular choice among aquarists who want to add a special touch to their tanks.
