Hydrocotyle verticillata

Description

Hydrocotyle Leucocephala - Cardamine

The leaves are roundish and grow on a tendril-like stem. This pennywort is one of the easiest aquarium plants and can be recommended to beginning aquarium keepers without any reservation. It does well in almost any water parameters and doesn't have high requirements. High temperatures are not really a problem, which makes it a great candidate for planted Discus tanks.
Its leaves turning yellow at the edges are a sure sign of iron deficiency, which can easily be remedied by adding an iron fertiliser to the water, though.

Care Guidelines:

• Temperature: 60° – 83° F (15° – 28° C)
• pH: 5.5 – 8.0
• Lighting: Low to moderate
• Origin: South America
• Aquarium placement: Middle to Background 
• Care: Easy
• Max Size: 3-10cm high

Note

Plants may arrive looking slightly different to pictured as they are grown emersed. Rest assured, after a short time in the aquarium the plant converts to its underwater form.
