Planting & Care Tips

Hygrophila Pinnatifida UK can be planted in the substrate or attached to rocks and driftwood. Its horizontal shoots can develop roots and attach to hardscape, creating a beautiful natural effect.

Provide moderate to strong lighting, balanced nutrients and stable water conditions. CO₂ supplementation can support healthier growth and stronger reddish coloration. Avoid excessive shading, as insufficient light may cause elongated growth and less intense colour.

Trim upright shoots regularly to encourage horizontal spreading and maintain a compact appearance. Monitor older leaves for small holes, which may indicate a potassium deficiency.
