Description

Add unique texture and colour to your aquascape with Hygrophila pinnatifida. This distinctive stem plant from India has deeply lobed, brown, patterned leaves with a burgundy underside, giving it a fern-like look that stands out against green plants and plain backgrounds.

It sends out horizontal side shoots that attach easily to driftwood and rocks, so you can grow it on hardscape or plant it in the substrate as a striking midground feature. Pinching the tops encourages more side shoots and keeps the plant compact.
