Originating from America, the Hydrocotyle verticillata with its toadstool like leaves, is a fairly simple aquarium plant to care for. In terms of size the more light intensity you have the smaller and more compact this plant will become. It isn't very fussy about CO2 or fertilisation, although good CO2 and nutrients will improve growth.
When first planting, separate the runners to include one leaf, plant into the substrate and watch it spread. Prune by cutting unwanted runners with sharp scissors. Hydrocotyle verticillata is definitely a foreground plant, but also suitable for garden ponds. If the soil is kept moist, you may even use it as an indoor plant.
Can also be used as a floating plant.
