Hygrophila Pinnatifida is a relatively rarer aquatic plant in the aquarium hobby. This aquatic plant features green and bronze hues on the upper side of its leaves and possesses a notorious deep red hue on the underside. A classic plant to use in aquascape layouts, Hygrophila Pinnatifida makes a beautiful addition to any planted aquarium tank. Its care requirements isn't too difficult so long as the water is kept clean and quality aquarium lighting is provided. Compact growth can be encouraged through frequent trimming and high light. Dosing additional nutrients, such as Iron, will also help to bring out the deep coloration that is, more often than not, the goal of keeping this aquatic plant. In addition, this unique aquatic plant can be attached to aquarium hardscape such as driftwood or rock instead of being planted directed in planted tank substrate.
Tissue culture plants are grown in-vitro by laboratories who specialize in propagating aquatic plants. There is a huge selection of plant species that have been propagated this way. This is truly the best option for those who want absolutely zero unwanted pests, algae and pesticides. This makes them perfect for shrimp keepers and any planted tank enthusiasts alike.
NOTE: It is important to remove the tissue culture agar gel before planting. Simply wash the gel away, divide, and plant.

Packaging was thoughtful, and the instructions were actually written by a human.
Took a week to dial in but now it is completely stable.
Great value for a mid-tech setup. Pairs well with the rest of my gear.
Shipped as a potted tissue-culture or bunch plant, wrapped in damp wool inside an insulated liner. Plants leave the bench Monday through Wednesday so nothing sits in a depot over a weekend.
