Hydrocotyle Tripartita Japan

Commonly known as Hydrocotyle Japan, this plant gained widespread recognition thanks to acclaimed aquascapers like Takashi Amano. Its distinguishing feature lies in its clover-like leaves, forming dense clusters of greenery. Remarkably versatile, it adapts well to various aquarium zones, whether foreground, midground, or background. Thriving on minimal care, it exhibits rapid growth, often outpacing other tank flora if not regularly pruned. With frequent trimming and ample light coupled with CO2 supplementation, it maintains a low stature, creating a lush carpet effect in the foreground.
