Frequently Asked Questions
Can Hygrophila pinnatifida be grown without planting it in substrate?
Can Hygrophila pinnatifida be grown without planting it in substrate?
Yes. It produces horizontal side shoots that attach directly to wood and rock, so it can be tied onto hardscape instead of being rooted in substrate.
What's the difference between the Potted and 1-2-Grow! options?
What's the difference between the Potted and 1-2-Grow! options?
Potted is supplied as a pack of five established plants ready to attach to hardscape. The 1-2-Grow! option is a pack of three closed cups of tissue-culture plantlets.
How should I position it in my aquascape?
How should I position it in my aquascape?
Plant it in small groups against a plain background to show off the burgundy leaf colour, and pinch out the top shoots to keep growth compact.
Suitable for aquascapers who want a hardscape plant that ties easily onto wood or rock, this Hygrophila gives your tank a strong colour contrast with its patterned brown leaves and burgundy undersides. Grown in small groups against a plain background, it helps create a defined focal point in midground or background layouts. You'll receive either a pack of five potted plants or a pack of three 1-2-Grow! tissue-culture cups, depending on the format selected.
Hygrophila pinnatifida is a stem plant that spreads through horizontal side shoots, attaching naturally to wood and rock instead of needing to be rooted in substrate. This gives aquascapers building hardscape-focused layouts a plant they can tie directly onto driftwood or stone, suited to midground and background positions.
The upper surface of the leaves is brown and patterned, while the underside carries a distinctive burgundy colour that shows through when the plant is viewed from the side or from below. Grouped together in small clusters against a plain background, this colour contrast helps the plant stand out as a feature rather than blending into general planting.
Stems reach 15-40 cm tall and 10-20 cm wide. Pinching out the top shoots keeps the plant compact and encourages the horizontal spread that lets it grip onto hardscape, and strong lighting supports this compact habit since the plant grows slowly on its own.
You can buy this plant as a pack of five pots or as a pack of three 1-2-Grow! cups grown from tissue culture in sealed containers. The format you choose determines what you receive: five rooted pots ready to tie onto hardscape, or three cups of tissue-culture plantlets to grow on.
