Hydrocotyle sp. 'Japan' – Compact Carpet Plant for Aquariums

Hydrocotyle sp. 'Japan,' a variant of Hydrocotyle tripartita from South-East Asia, is a popular choice among aquascapers for its vibrant green, compact, and fast-growing carpet. Characterized by small, bright green leaves on vertical stems, this plant forms a lush carpet that grows 5-10 cm tall, adding depth and texture to the aquarium floor.

Key Features:

• Compact, Fast Growth 🌱: Grows quickly with compact, dense foliage, creating a vibrant green carpet.
• Height: Forms a carpet between 5-10 cm tall, ideal for foreground planting.
• Easy Maintenance: Promote dense growth by gently pressing down on the carpet with your hand, a method known as mechanical retardation.
• Light Requirements 💡: Thrives under good lighting, which enhances its compact structure and encourages carpet formation.

Care Tips:

• Lighting: High light promotes compact, carpeted growth; lower light may result in taller, sparser growth.
• Trimming: Occasional pressing and trimming help maintain a dense and low profile.

Hydrocotyle sp. 'Japan' is ideal for aquascapers looking for a vibrant, low-maintenance carpeting plant that adds structure and lively color to the aquarium foreground.
