Hygrophila pinnatifida, commonly known as Pinnatifida, is a stunning aquatic plant prized for its deeply lobed, fern-like leaves with vibrant green to reddish-brown coloration. Its unique foliage adds texture and depth to aquascapes, making it ideal for both beginner and advanced aquarists. The in-vitro version ensures a healthy, pest-free plant for a clean start in your aquarium.
Unique Leaf Structure: Deeply lobed, pinnate leaves provide exotic texture, with coloration ranging from green to reddish-brown depending on lighting and nutrient levels.
Versatile Growth Pattern: Can be used in the midground or attached to hardscape such as rocks or driftwood, offering flexibility in aquascaping layouts.
In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, free from pests, algae, and pathogens, ensuring a healthy introduction to your tank.
Aquascaping Favorite: Its striking leaf shape, coloration, and versatility make it an excellent choice for adding depth and visual interest.
Lighting: Medium to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant coloration and compact growth. Higher light encourages reddish-brown hues, while lower light keeps the leaves more green.
CO₂: Not strictly necessary, but supplementation promotes faster growth and enhances coloration, particularly in high-tech setups.
Water Parameters: Thrives in slightly acidic to neutral water, pH 6.0–7.5 | Temperature 20–28 °C. Nutrient-rich substrate and water support optimal growth.
Growth Rate: Moderate; responds well to regular trimming and side shoot propagation.
Trimming & Propagation: Regular trimming maintains compact form and encourages side shoots, which can be replanted to propagate the plant.
Rinse thoroughly to remove nutrient gel before planting.
Can be planted in substrate or attached to hardscape such as rocks or driftwood; roots will naturally anchor the plant.
Provide medium to high lighting and CO₂ supplementation for optimal growth, coloration, and overall health.
