Description

Originating from America, the Hydrocotyle verticillata with its toadstool like leaves, is a fairly simple plant to care for. In terms of size the more light intensity you have the smaller and more compact this plant will become. It isn't very fussy about CO2 or fertilisation, although good CO2 and nutrients will improve growth.

When first planting, separate the runners to include one leaf, plant into the substrate and watch it spread. Prune by cutting unwanted runners with sharp scissors.

Such a beautiful little plant when it arrived. I had high hopes of it. However, I have failed it in some way, as the leaves are now yellow and it is not happy. I use the Neutro Combo, and the water temperature is 22 deg, I thought I'd read up all the advice about it, but there must be something I forgot. Very disappointed.

It's a fast grower and I suggest offering it more Neutro T and a nutrient-rich substrate. If you don't have that, use Terratabs under this plant for best effects.

Arrived in great condition, happy with my purchase. Packaging on all of the plants I bought was good and they are doing well in my tank.

Nice plant, arrived in good condition but found it a bit difficult to split into smaller bunches, stems tangled together. Semms to be growing well now it's in the aquarium
