🌿 Rorippa aquatica – Unique Rosette Plant

Rorippa aquatica, scientifically classified as Armoracia (Ammoricia) aquatica, is a fascinating and uncommon rosette-type aquarium plant. Known by several names such as Water Cabbage and Lake Cress, this plant is admired for its finely divided, lace-like green leaves that bring a soft, flowing texture to aquascapes.

Often confused with Armoracia aquatica, this species thrives in nutrient-rich substrates under medium to high light, making it a rewarding addition for aquascapers who want to add variety beyond typical stem plants. Its versatility allows it to shine as both a foreground and midground plant, where it adds natural elegance and depth.
