Hygrophila pinnatifida is an aquatic plant native to India, known for its distinctive brown, patched leaves with a burgundy underside. It produces horizontal side shoots that readily attach to wood and rocks, making it a versatile choice for aquascaping. To maintain compact and attractive growth, it's recommended to pinch out the top shoots. The plant typically grows to a height of 15-40 cm and a width of 10-20 cm. When planted in small groups against a plain background, its unique coloration becomes particularly striking. Intense lighting encourages more compact growth.
