HYGROPHILA PINNATIFIDA – In Vitro Aquarium Plant with Deeply Lobed Leaves and Burgundy Hues for Midground Use
Hygrophila pinnatifida is a striking aquatic plant from India, cultivated in vitro and known for its deeply incised leaves and variable coloration. While it may resemble Bolbitis heudelotii in form, it is noticeably larger and more colorful. The upper side of the leaves varies from dark green to reddish-brown depending on light intensity, while the underside features a rich burgundy tone. This vivid contrast and unique leaf shape make it a standout midground plant in any aquascape.
What sets Hygrophila pinnatifida apart is its ability to grow not only in the substrate but also attached to wood and rocks, behaving like an epiphyte. Cultivated in a sterile environment, it is free from snails, pests, and algae, making it completely safe for sensitive tank inhabitants. Once divided into small portions and planted, it quickly forms a dense and cohesive group of plants that enhance the tank’s natural beauty.
