Hydrocotyle leucocephala

Brazilian Pennywort (Hydrocotyle leucocephala) is a fast-growing, beginner-friendly aquatic plant prized for its vibrant green, round, coin-shaped leaves and versatile growth habit. Its creeping stems and runners allow it to spread quickly, creating a lush, natural look in freshwater aquariums.
