Hygrophila pinnatifida is a striking and versatile aquatic plant, perfect for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any aquarium. Originating from the streams and rivers of India, this plant is renowned for its unique, pinnately cut leaves that display a range of colors from dark green to reddish-brown, depending on the lighting and nutrient conditions in the tank.

Key Features:

  1. Distinctive Appearance: Hygrophila pinnatifida has fern-like leaves that can turn from green to brown or even red under optimal conditions, adding a dynamic visual element to your aquarium.
  2. Versatile Growth: This plant can be grown in the substrate or attached to hardscapes like rocks and driftwood, making it an excellent choice for various aquascaping styles.
  3. Moderate Lighting Requirement: While it can thrive in moderate lighting, intense light helps to enhance its compact growth and vibrant coloration.

  5. Nutrient Needs: Regular fertilization, especially with potassium, is crucial to prevent deficiencies and promote healthy growth. CO2 supplementation can significantly enhance its growth and coloration.
  6. Propagation: It is easy to propagate through stem cuttings, which can be replanted in the substrate or attached to hardscapes.

          WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

          Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

          However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

          1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
          2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
          3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
          4. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

          Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.

          Healthy Bunch

          I received the hygrophilia pinnatifida during a cold period and aquaticplantsfactory had them packaged in a thermal protection that I believe helped keep them in a healthy condition when they arrived. The plants seem to be adjusting well to my aquascape and I received a generous portion. I will be ordering from them again.

          I have a hillstream setup, all 3 bunches are thriving wonderfully.

          It was high quality but I failed in my care and they all died. I think I'm just going to glue them onto hardware next time instead of planting them in substrate. They failed to root and rotted due to lack of flow around the buried stems.

          Not what I expected

          Like always received healthy, pest free plants. For some reason I was expecting this plant to be like a sword with a root base, a stalk, then leaves at top. What I got was more like a stem plant. It had roots along stem. Wasn't really sure how to plant it so just went for it. Ordered 2, received 3 but I think one could probably be divided into a 4th plant. Much smaller than i expected. Leaves are really neat and color is dense. Will be interesting to see how these progress as I think they are supposed to get large.
