HYGROPHILA PINNATIFIDA – Ornamental Aquarium Plant with Feathered Rust-Brown Leaves for Wood and Rock Attachment
Hygrophila pinnatifida is a highly ornamental aquatic plant from India that has only recently become commercially available. Its unique combination of visual appeal and structural flexibility has made it increasingly popular in modern aquascaping. Unlike typical stem plants, Hygrophila pinnatifida has the unusual ability to anchor itself to rocks and driftwood, behaving more like an epiphytic species and opening up new creative options for planted tank layouts.
Its most striking feature is the finely feathered, lobed foliage in shades of rust-brown to olive green, often with a burgundy underside. These elegant leaves contrast beautifully when paired with simpler, more compact plant forms. With a moderate growth rate and a height of up to 40 cm, it fits perfectly in the midground zone, whether rooted in the substrate or attached to hardscape elements.
