Description
Hygrophila Pinnatifida
Hygrophila Pinnatifida originates from India. It produces fine, fern-like leaves that are predominantly green in color with the underside displaying dark green to burgundy contrasting coloration. The unusual shape of the leaves, their contrasting coloration, and the plant's ability to grow on rocks and driftwood make the plant highly desirable especially in the aquascaping world. Hygrophila Pinnatifida does well under a wide range of aquarium conditions.
Care & Maintenance
Hygrophila Pinnatifida can be planted in soil or attached to driftwood or rocks. Regularly trimming the top stems with sharp scissors will make the plant grow more compact or bushy. The plant looks most attractive when planted in small groups.
- Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate
- Temperature Range: 60-82°F
- Tank Placement: Midground, Background
While the plant does not require any special care, good lighting will allow the plant to display its best colors and keep a compact shape.

This one's a favorite
Posted by Glenn on 25 Aug 2021Nice full bunches. Planted the individual branches among the rocks in the tank. They already look like a forest.

Live Plants
Posted by Debra Hiebert on 2 Jun 2021Perfectly healthy plants, but didn't stay anchored very well in my substrate. This is MY error, not the plants - I have marbles instead of smaller substrate. So next time, I'll spring for potted on this one.

Looks exactly as pictured - but no roots/just cuttings
Posted by Susan L. on 2 Oct 2020I have never tried growing this plant before. I was pleasantly surprised with the size it came in. It already looks like a full grown plant in my 10gal. It came rubber banded in 2 bunches. They are cuttings, BTW. But from what I read on other sites about this plant, this is an acceptable method to propagate them, though not ideal. They have been in the tank ~1+ weeks and so far, they still look great. I have kept them in their rubber bands (looks as pictured). I wasn't aware that this plant can get big fast.. it is already making my tank look like a fully mature planted tank (I recently gutted and replanted a new tank). No wilted leaves so far and I can see them "make pearls", so despite them being cuttings, they are doing just fine in the tank.

Good but heads up: these are cuttings!
Posted by Nojan on 21 Aug 2020These plants came in HUGE!!! They were very tall which can be nice if that's what you're going for but definitely needed a good trimming to be more full and compact. These stems were cuttings and didn't have any roots which I was not expecting. Propagating can be hard for your plant but i've had these in my tank for a week and they seem to be super happy and are pearling and already starting to show new growth after I trimmed them.
