Hydrocotyle Tripartia Invitro

Hydrocotyle tripartita - In Vitro Aquarium Plant

Hydrocotyle tripartita is a fast-growing, highly versatile aquarium plant known for its small, clover-like leaves and creeping growth habit. Originating from Australia, this species spreads horizontally across the substrate, hardscape, and even vertical surfaces, making it a favourite for dynamic and modern aquascapes. Its bright green colour adds freshness and movement, creating a lively, natural appearance in planted tanks.

Supplied as a sterile invitro pot, Hydrocotyle tripartita is completely free from algae, snails, and pesticides, making it safe for shrimp tanks and sensitive aquarium setups. With the right care, it quickly establishes and can be shaped through trimming to suit a wide range of layouts.
