Hygrophila Pinnatifida
Hygrophila pinnatifida
Family: Acanthaceae
📍 India (Western Ghats)
A standout aquascape plant with oak-like lobed leaves that are dark green on top and purple-red beneath. Unlike most Hygrophilas it can be attached to hardscape like Anubias. Under high light and CO2 the purple coloration intensifies dramatically, making it one of the most visually striking stem plants available.
