What do I receive when I order this plant?
You receive a pack of five pots of Hydrocotyle verticillata.
A potted Hydrocotyle verticillata that keeps a trailing, spreading shape rather than growing upright, giving you a dense, low carpet of foliage across your layout. It settles into aquariums, garden ponds, or a moist indoor pot, and doesn't need rooting if you'd rather let it float.
Hydrocotyle verticillata is a trailing aquarium and pond plant that keeps its spreading growth habit, unlike other Hydrocotyle species that tend to grow upright. This gives you a dense, low carpet of foliage that stays close to the base of your layout rather than reaching up and crowding other plants. It suits aquascapers building low, trailing plantings, garden pond keepers, and indoor growers who can keep the soil moist.
For the strongest growth, it needs bright lighting and soft, slightly acidic water. It doesn't need to be rooted in substrate, so you can grow it planted or let it float freely in open water instead.
It typically reaches 3 to 7cm tall, so it stays compact even once established. Beyond aquariums, it also works in garden ponds, and indoors as a houseplant provided the soil is kept consistently moist.
You receive a pack of five pots of Hydrocotyle verticillata, ready to go into your tank, pond, or a moist pot at home.
