Unique stem plant with serrated leaves
Red coloration develops under high lighting
100% clean with no algae, duckweed, or snails

Hygrophila pinnatifida is a favorite plant commonly used in aquascaping and high tech aquariums. Its narrow, serrated leaves change from green to red under stronger lighting. It also has the unique flexibility to grow it either in the substrate or attached to rock or driftwood.

This stem plant has a moderate growth rate and generally reaches 6–16 inches (15–40 cm) tall and 4–8 inches (10–20 cm) wide. Trimming the tips and side shoots will help maintain a nice and compact appearance. The runners can then be replanted to propagate and spread the plant to multiple locations.

Directions:

1. Upon receiving the tissue culture plant, immediately open the container and rinse off any excess liquid from the roots.
2. The plant can be planted as one single unit or gently separated into smaller plant clumps if there are multiple nodes.
3. Insert each plantlet between cracks in the hardscape or more firmly attach them using a small dab of super glue gel. Alternatively, you can insert the plant into the substrate by using planting tweezers or your fingers so that the roots are completely buried but the leaves are above the substrate.
