HYGROPHILA PINNATIFIDA – Branched Aquarium Plant with Brown and Burgundy Leaves, Ideal for Wood and Rock
Hygrophila pinnatifida is a striking aquarium plant originating from India, known for its unique appearance and ability to attach itself to hard surfaces like driftwood and rocks. Its deeply lobed leaves take on a rich brown color with attractive burgundy undersides, adding a natural and wild texture to any aquascape. With moderate growth, it reaches heights of 15–40 cm and widths up to 20 cm, making it ideal for midground placement or for attaching to hardscape elements in the foreground.
One of its defining features is the development of horizontal side shoots, which allow it to spread and anchor easily to wood or stones. To keep a neat and compact growth form, regular trimming of vigorous shoots is recommended. Under strong lighting and with sufficient CO₂, Hygrophila pinnatifida shows off its full color potential and forms a beautiful, dense cluster.
