Tropica Hydrocotyle tripartita CUP

Hydrocotyle tripartita or three-part water pennywort exudes girlish charm thanks to flower-shaped leaves! This creeping, slightly overhanging and fast-growing species is one of the most popular decorative plants in aquascaping. Tastefully placed and trimmed, it is reminiscent of either wildly climbing shrubs or dense ground covers in enchanted gardens. With strong lighting and regular CO2 additions, it develops magnificently. Pruning is necessary, otherwise it will take over the aquarium - a wild bit of nature. Otherwise it is quite undemanding; it can also give a lot of pleasure when grown emersely!

Note: Cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterilely. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimps and can be used immediately. There are no stowaways such as snails or parasites with in vitro plants, and pesticides are not used at all.
