Brazilian Pennywort

Customer Reviews:

"I can really tell how much care went into these plants. They arrived safely with almost no damaged limbs and little to no melt. The buy 2 get one free deal gave me 3 big healthy bunches that quickly filled up the spot in my large aquarium!" -Eel

"I received my plant packaged nicely and arrived healthy. It's been in my tank for a week and has already grown so much! I love the way some leaves float to the top of my tank." -Littlesumoman

Choose your format: Loose bunch (4-6 stems) or rooted pot (6-10" tall)

Hardy, quick growing and unique, Brazilian Pennywort (Hydrocotyle leucocephala) doesn't even need to be planted! This sturdy South American plant is a haven for tiny fish and baby shrimp. Trim often, as it quickly runs and can take over a tank! Replant trims at the node (where little roots are growing), and you'll have a fuller, bushier looking plant.

Pennywort has the added advantage of being a bog type plant, meaning it will grow towards your light source until it grows right out of the water! It will eventually drape out the side of your tank, adding layers of stunning, dimensional foliage.

Bunch format: 4-6 collected stems (4-10" long), rooted. May have both emergent and submerged leaves.

Potted format: 6-10" tall, well-rooted in rockwool pot, excellent for bare-bottomed tanks. EMERGENT-GROWN OR SUBMERGED-GROWN
