Product Review
Hydrocotyle Tripartita, also known as Hydrocotyle Japan, is a fast-growing, creeping plant with small, clover-shaped leaves that add a unique texture to aquascapes. This tissue culture (TC) variant is pest-free, algae-free, and disease-free, ensuring a healthy start for planted tanks. It is highly versatile and can be used as a foreground carpet, midground bush, or even attached to driftwood and rocks. With high light and CO₂, it grows into a dense, lush mat.
