Hygrophila Pinnatifida Live Aquarium Plant, Bronze Fern-Like Foliage for Midground or Hardscape Growth

Add deeply lobed, fern-like foliage to a planted freshwater aquarium. Hygrophila pinnatifida can grow in substrate or attach to wood and stone, making it useful for midground planting and hardscape layouts.

Leaf color ranges from green to bronze or reddish brown according to lighting and nutrients. Choose a small bare-root plant or a two-to-three-stem fresh-cut format supplied loose, bunched or potted.

Key Features

• Rheophyte growth habit supports planting in substrate or attachment to hardscape.
• Fern-like leaves can develop bronze and red tones under stronger light.
• Medium growth rate suits planned midground layouts.
• Low-to-medium light is supported, while stronger color needs brighter conditions.
