Tropica Hydrocotyle verticillata

'Hydrocotyle verticillata' or whorled pennywort is perfect to break up a monotonous backdrop with its round, slightly notched, mushroom-shaped leaves and creeping growth habit. The low stem plant has a compact, horizontal growth in intense to good light. Nutrients, especially iron, and CO2 turn it into an attractive plant that transforms underwater areas into beautiful jungle areas - ornamental fish and small creatures love the dense hiding places it provides! It is particularly attractive in groups as ground cover in the foreground and middle ground, along steep sides or on hills. Please make sure they have enough space to grow.
