Hottonia palustris is a rare and elegant stem plant native to Europe and western Asia, prized for its finely pinnate, feather-like leaves that create a soft, airy texture unlike almost any other aquatic plant. Submerged, it forms delicate whorls of bright green foliage along each stem, making it an exceptional choice for aquascapers seeking a naturalistic, wild-pond aesthetic in the midground or background of their aquarium.
A true gem for the experienced aquascaper, Hottonia palustris rewards careful husbandry with lush, dense growth and a distinctive visual character that stands out in any planted tank. It performs best with CO₂ supplementation, moderate to high light, and soft, slightly acidic water — conditions that mimic its natural temperate wetland habitat.
Key Features:
- Finely pinnate, feather-like leaves arranged in elegant whorls along each stem
- Bright green colouration with a soft, airy texture ideal for naturalistic aquascapes
- Suited to midground or background placement in medium to large aquariums
- Thrives with CO₂ supplementation, moderate to high light, and soft acidic water
- A rare and distinctive species that adds unique character to any planted tank
Bring the beauty of European temperate wetlands into your aquascape with Hottonia palustris — a rare and rewarding stem plant that delivers unmatched texture and natural elegance to any planted aquarium.
