HYDROCOTYLE VERTICILLATA – Versatile Plant for Aquarium, Pond, and Indoor Use
Hydrocotyle verticillata is a unique aquarium plant native to the Americas, known for its stable final growth form and remarkable versatility. Unlike other Hydrocotyle species, it maintains a compact, controlled growth, reaching a maximum height of about 3–7 cm, making it ideal for foreground decoration in aquariums.
Optimal growth is achieved in soft, slightly acidic freshwater with strong lighting. However, Hydrocotyle verticillata is highly adaptable: it can be used as a floating plant or placed outdoors in garden ponds where it thrives if the soil remains moist. It can even be cultivated indoors as a houseplant, flourishing in humid, bright environments.
Its distinctive "umbrella-like" leaves add a unique and ornamental touch to aquatic and terrestrial setups. Hydrocotyle verticillata does not require rooting and can be placed freely in aquariums or ponds.
