Hygrophila pinnatifida is a unique stem plant from India, admired for its deeply lobed, fern-like leaves and striking coloration. The foliage ranges from olive green to brown, and under high lighting with CO₂, the leaves develop stunning vibrant red-purple tones on the undersides that bring dramatic contrast to your aquascape.
Unlike most stem plants, Hygrophila pinnatifida can be attached to rocks or driftwood as an epiphyte, as well as planted in the substrate, making it a versatile choice for creative layouts and adding texture to hardscape elements.

Aquascaping Applications:
Hygrophila pinnatifida excels when attached to vertical surfaces on driftwood or stone using fishing line, thread, or super glue gel, where it creates natural transitions and adds unique texture. It also works beautifully planted in the substrate as a midground feature. The distinctive lobed leaves and red-purple coloration become more pronounced with proper lighting and nutrient levels, making it a standout feature in nature-style aquascapes.
Portion Size: One healthy stem with a few runners
