HYGROPHILA PINNATIFIDA – Tropica 1-2-Grow! In Vitro Aquarium Plant with Brown Leaves and Burgundy Underside for Wood and Rocks
Hygrophila pinnatifida is an ornamental aquatic plant from India, valued for its distinctive look and versatile placement. Part of the Tropica 1-2-Grow! series, it is lab-cultured under sterile conditions and free from snails, algae, parasites, and pesticides—making it safe for shrimp and sensitive fish. Its deeply lobed leaves are brown on top with a rich burgundy underside, providing elegant contrast and natural detail to any aquascape.
This species produces horizontal side shoots that readily attach to hardscape materials like driftwood and stones, making it ideal for complex layouts. The top shoots should be pinched regularly to promote bushy, compact growth. With a moderate growth rate, it reaches 15–40 cm in height and up to 20 cm wide. Strong lighting ensures dense form and enhanced coloration, especially when planted in small groups against a simple background.
