Hydrocotyle Japan

Hydrocotyle sp. 'Japan'

Family: Araliaceae

Ask Finn

A compact variant of pennywort that produces small, neatly round, bright green leaves on short stems. Unlike the faster-growing H. tripartita, it has a more controlled growth habit and can be used as a delicate foreground or mid-ground filler. It adapts readily to CO2 and non-CO2 tanks alike.
