Planting & Care Tips

Plant Hydrocotyle Sibthorpioides in small portions across the foreground, leaving space between sections for spreading growth. Provide suitable lighting, adequate nutrients and stable water conditions to encourage healthy development.

For a compact carpet, stronger lighting and CO₂ supplementation can be beneficial. Under lower light, the stems may grow taller rather than spreading closely across the substrate. Trim longer runners regularly and replant healthy cuttings to expand the carpet.
