    Description

    Hydrocotyle tripartita is a vigorous and visually appealing creeping plant from Asia producing small, three-lobed, rounded leaves on thin stems that spread rapidly across the substrate and up through the water column. Its distinctive clover-like leaf shape and dense, spreading growth make it one of the most popular mid to foreground plants in contemporary planted aquascaping.

    It is an easy plant growing without CO2 under medium light and adapting to a broad range of water conditions. Fast-growing and simple to trim, it benefits from regular cutting to keep it at the desired height and prevent it from spreading into the background. It works both as a low foreground creeper and as a more upright midground accent depending on how it is trimmed.

    Supplied as a Tropica 1-2-GROW! tissue culture cup, this plant arrives completely free from snails, pest algae, and pesticide residue. Rinse the gel, separate stems and plant into the substrate. Suits aquariums from 30 litres upward — a distinctive and easy creeping plant with clover-like leaves that is fully shrimp safe and simple to manage.

    The image of the plant you'll be receiving is just an example of what you can expect. Each plant is unique and may vary in size and shape, so it won't be an exact match to the photo. If we provide a size guide, keep in mind that it's just an estimate and that plants can vary in size depending on the time of year.
    WHAT TO EXPECT

    Tissue cultured plants are supplied young and grown in a sterile environment, so they arrive free from snails, algae and pesticide residue. They may look smaller on arrival, but each cup contains multiple plantlets designed to be divided and planted out, where they establish quickly with minimal melt and grow into place.

    Product Details

    1. Grown in a laboratory

    Tissue Cultured Plants are unique in so much as they are grown in a laboratory and not a greenhouse. As a result of this, a cast iron guarantee is offered which is 100% so snails and no pesticides.

    2. How to handle them

    They're a bit different from potted plants because they're grown in an agae solution that contains nutrients and hormones to encrougage plants to grow. Some agar is liquid, others are more solid depending on what the growers prefers. Regardless once they arrive with you, acclimatise to room temperature and then rinse under luke warm tap water. Then plant up.

    3. Pot sizes

    Nearly all TC pots are 5cm in diameter and the pots will range in fullness depending on many factors such as the natural growth speed of the plant and the time the grower has held them for. Sometimes the pots are exceptionally full and sometimes not so full - something we cannot control. But either way, they're still really good value when you look at the overall plant mass.

    Very nice plants

    Very nice plants. Already pink in colour, they’ve started rooting into the substrate a few days after planting. Low tech tank so we’ll see how they get on but there’s no sign of melting so far and I see some new growth coming in. Very generous number of plants, just one container of these could easily cover a large tank as I managed to get about 8 plants out of mine. My tank didn’t have room for them all so will be able to give some away. Incredibly pleased, money well spent.

    They were really lovely but were too tasty as my fantail goldfish ate them all in one day. I got them as they were algae eaters and i like floating plants. I’ll have to find something similar that he wont eat.
