Hygrophila pinnatifida and moss on Wood

Hygrophila pinnatifida & Moss is a visually striking and versatile plant combination that adds both height and texture to freshwater aquariums. Hygrophila pinnatifida is well known for its deeply lobed, reddish-brown leaves with contrasting green undersides, which bring a unique wild and natural look to aquascapes. The addition of moss creates an extra layer of texture, enhancing the overall aesthetic and providing excellent hiding and grazing areas for shrimp and small fish.

This plant thrives in moderate to high light conditions, with CO₂ injection helping to bring out its intense coloration and compact growth habit. Unlike many stem plants, Hygrophila pinnatifida can be attached to rocks, driftwood, or decorations, making it ideal for aquascaping. The moss component adds an extra element of detail, softening the appearance of hardscape elements and creating a natural underwater feel.

• Size: 10-40 cm in height, depending on trimming and placement
  
• Light Requirements: Moderate to high – benefits from strong lighting for best coloration
  
• Growth Rate: Moderate – can be trimmed for a bushy look or left to grow naturally

Hygrophila pinnatifida & Moss is a perfect combination for aquascapers looking to create depth, texture, and natural beauty in their tanks. Whether you’re designing a nature aquarium, a shrimp habitat, or a high-tech aquascape, this plant mix offers stunning visuals and functional benefits. A must-have for anyone looking to add rich colors and diverse textures to their aquarium!
