HOTTONIA PALUSTRIS – Easy-to-Grow Stem Plant for Aquariums
Hottonia palustris is a beautiful stem plant native to Asia and Europe, particularly suited for beginner aquarists due to its undemanding nature and ease of cultivation. Characterized by numerous curved shoots and finely divided fan-shaped leaves in a bright, intense green, Hottonia palustris quickly forms a dense and decorative cluster within the aquarium.
Each stem can reach a width of 4-6 cm and a height of 10-30 cm, making it ideal for the midground area of the tank. Regular trimming of the longer shoots promotes new growth from the plant’s base, maintaining a compact, bushy appearance.
The broad growth habit of Hottonia palustris makes it perfect for creating smooth transitions between low and tall plants, enhancing the natural and dynamic look of the aquascape. Its vivid green color beautifully highlights the surrounding red-toned plants, improving overall contrast and composition.
