Hydrocotyle tripartita 1-2-Grow!

The 1-2 Grow! plants from Tropica come directly from the lab, and they are free from algae, snails and toxic substances, which makes them ideal for shrimp and sensitive fish.

They can be put directly into a shrimp tank when the (unproblematic) nutrient solution has been rinsed off. There is no more need to quarantine them beforehand.

These plants are already cultivated in their submersed form in the sealed pot (in contrast to most traditionally-produced plants, which are grown above the waterline in aquatic plant nurseries), and when planted into an aquarium, there is no need for them to shed their air leaves and sprout underwater leaves... therefore, inVitro plants are off to a good start in a tank and will take root very quickly.

Hydrocotyle tripartita

The aquarium plant Hydrocotyle tripartita is characterized by fast, compact growth and small, deep green leaves on horizontal stems. Hydrocotyle tripartita forms a carpet and only grows to around 5-10 cm high. The compact growth can be encouraged by manually pressing down the plant carpet when caring for the aquarium (mechanical retardation). Good lighting conditions encourage the carpet formation and compact growth of Hydrocotyle tripartita.

Hydrocotyle tripartita from Tropica is suitable as a ground cover in the foreground for aquariums of around 60 liters or more. In smaller aquariums, it may overgrow everything else, or would have to be cut back very often.
