Hygrophila ‘Pinnatifida’

Hygrophila ‘Pinnatifida’ is a unique and highly versatile plant known for its deeply lobed, fern-like leaves and rich colour variation ranging from olive green to reddish-brown under strong lighting. Unlike most Hygrophila species, Pinnatifida can be grown either as a rooted stem plant or attached to hardscape, making it especially popular in modern Aquascaping.

Its creeping growth habit allows it to spread horizontally along rock or driftwood, creating a natural, layered look that adds depth and character to planted aquariums. When trimmed regularly, it maintains a compact form and produces vibrant new growth.
