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.

Main features:

  • Fringed brown leaves with burgundy undersides

  • Horizontal and vertical growth for a natural, compact form

  • Easily attaches to wood and rocks with lateral shoots

  • Moderate growth, height 15–40 cm, width up to 20 cm

  • Needs strong light and CO₂ for best performance

  • In vitro grown, pest-free, shrimp-safe, and clean

  • Ideal for natural, Dutch, and advanced aquascaping layouts

How to use:

  • Carefully remove the plant from the cup

  • Rinse off the gel thoroughly under running water

  • Divide into 6–8 small clumps using sharp scissors

  • Plant into the substrate using tweezers

  • Watch it grow into a compact, bushy cluster

Why choose Hygrophila pinnatifida 1-2-Grow!:

With its sterile origin and stunning bicolor foliage, Hygrophila pinnatifida is a top choice for aquarists seeking beauty, structure, and safety. Its ability to cling to hardscape and its elegant growth form make it ideal for dynamic aquascapes without endangering sensitive tank mates.
