Hygrophila Pinnatifida - 2 Stems

Hygrophila pinnatifida

Hygrophila pinnatifida is a highly sought-after aquatic plant known for its distinctive fern-like leaves and unique coloration. Its foliage typically displays deep green to brown tones on the upper surface with a striking reddish underside, giving aquascapes a dramatic and natural look.

Unlike many stem plants, Hygrophila pinnatifida can grow both upright and creeping, allowing it to attach to rocks or driftwood while also forming bushy clusters. This versatility makes it a favorite among aquascapers for creating texture and depth in planted tanks.

Care Tips

• Lighting: Medium to High

• CO₂: Recommended for compact growth and richer coloration

• Placement: Foreground to Midground (can also attach to hardscape)

• Growth Rate: Moderate

• Propagation: Cut side shoots or stems and reattach or plant them in the substrate

Aquascaping Notes

Hygrophila pinnatifida is widely used in nature-style aquascapes where it can be attached to driftwood or rocks to create a wild, rooted appearance. Its unique leaf structure adds strong contrast when combined with mosses, Anubias, and carpeting plants.

Please note that plant size, number of stems, and coloration may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
