Collection: Hottonia

Hottonia, most commonly represented by Hottonia palustris (Water Violet), is a delicate and decorative aquatic plant known for its fine, feather-like leaves and soft, bushy growth. Native to Europe and parts of Asia, this stem plant brings a refined, airy texture to freshwater aquariums and is especially well-suited for foreground to midground placement in aquascaping layouts.

With its pale green, finely divided foliage, Hottonia resembles miniature ferns underwater and forms lush, low mounds when grown in stable, nutrient-rich environments. It grows best under cool temperatures and moderate to high light, making it ideal for aquarists who appreciate unique plant forms and a softer aquascape aesthetic.
