Hydrocotyle Verticillata is a beautiful species of Hydrocotyle that can be grown in both submerged aquarium settings and emersed environments. When grown in aquariums, this aquatic plant retains its trailing behavior and produces shield-like leaf pads that add varying texture to any planted aquarium tank. Optimal conditions include soft water, CO2 injection, nutrient-dense aquarium soil and medium lighting. This aquarium plant species may be used near the mid ground and can also be considered as a unique foreground aquatic plant. Hydrocotyle Verticillata, sometimes also known as Whorled Pennywort or Shield Pennywort, is a great aquarium plant for beginner hobbyists as well as experienced aquascapers who are seasoned in caring for aquatic plant species. Hydrocotyle Verticillata can grow quite large emersed and is a wonderful species to grow!
