Description

Hygrophila pinnatifida originates from India. It obtains brown, patched leaves on the surface with a distinctive burgundy color underneath. Hygrophila pinnatifida is a popular epiphyte in aqua scaping circles as it can grow well without being planted in substrate, it attaches easily to rocks and wood and its reddish coloration and unique leaf shape serves as good contrast against green plants. It requires very frequent trimming to prevent it from shading the rest of the surrounding plants.
