Plant Description:
Hygrophilia 'Pinnatifida' is part of the Hygrophilia genus. They are native to the rivulets of the Western Ghats in India. Due to its unique semi aquatic lifestyle, this plant can be grown successfully submerged in the aquarium or emerged in a high humidity terrarium, paludarium or vivarium.
Hygrophilia 'Pinnatifida' is a unique plant that is adored because of its fern like appearance and bronze-burgundy leaves. This plant can be planted directly into the substrate or can uniquely survive as an epiphyte attached to hardscape. Propagation of this pant is easy and can be done by stem cuttings and offshoots.
In the aquarium, Hygrophilia 'Pinnatifida', is a relatively easy to care for plant that requires medium to high light and medium fertilization or CO2 supplementation for best and bright coloration. 'Pinnatifida' can be used widely in both large and small aquariums, as well as shrimp, and high-tech aquarium set ups.
Although this plant may be a moderate grower in the aquarium, with more CO2 and plant fertilizer, it is possible to produce more growth and propagation over time.
