Hydrocotyle tripartita Tissue Culture
A clean tissue-culture form of this bright green creeping plant, ideal for foreground mounds, low carpets and detailed nano aquascapes.
Quick Facts
- Plant type: Stem plant
- Sale format: Tissue culture
- Placement: Plant individual stems with space between them, or float only when appropriate for the species.
- Lighting: Species-dependent; colour forms and compact growth often need stronger, stable light.
- Injected CO₂: Species-dependent; injected CO₂ often improves submerged establishment and compact growth.

FAQ
What is the best way to place Hydrocotyle tripartita tissue culture in an aquarium?
Plant individual stems with space between them for better growth and aesthetics. Floating is acceptable only when appropriate for the species.
Does Hydrocotyle tripartita require CO₂ for optimal growth?
Injected CO₂ often improves submerged establishment and compact growth, but it is species-dependent.
What lighting conditions are recommended for this plant?
Lighting requirements are species-dependent. Colour forms and compact growth typically benefit from stronger, stable light.

The plant grows quickly and spreads nicely in the foreground. It maintains a neat, green appearance even in low-light setups. Easy to plant and stays healthy with regular water changes.

Works well in a nano aquascape. The tissue culture form is clean and uniform. Needs stable lighting to thrive, but once set up, it’s very reliable.

I used it in a detailed foreground layout. It fills gaps well and looks natural. The stems are strong and don’t drift much, even in a small tank.
