Hydrocotyle tripartita Tissue Culture, also known as Hydrocotyle Japan, is a fast-growing foreground to midground aquarium plant loved for its tiny, clover-shaped leaves and vivid green color. Propagated in sterile laboratory conditions, this tissue culture form is 100% algae-free, pest-free, and snail-free, ensuring a healthy, clean start for your aquascape or shrimp tank.
Hydrocotyle tripartita originates from Southeast Asia, where it grows in tropical wetlands and shallow riverbanks. In aquariums, it spreads rapidly across the substrate, creating a lush green carpet or climbing over rocks and driftwood for a natural, layered appearance.
Lighting: Medium to high light helps maintain compact, dense growth.
CO₂ & Fertilizer: CO₂ injection and nutrient-rich substrate greatly enhance color, speed, and coverage.
Substrate: Can root directly into soil or be attached to hardscape.
Water Parameters: Ideal range 68–82°F (20–28°C), pH 6.0–7.5.
Maintenance: Regular trimming promotes a thicker carpet and prevents the plant from overshadowing smaller species.
Completely algae-free, snail-free, and pesticide-free.
Safe for shrimp, snails, and sensitive fish species.
Creates a dense, bright green carpet that enhances aquascape depth and contrast.
Fast-spreading and easy to manage—great for both beginners and experts.
Can be used as a foreground carpet or climbing accent plant.
Foreground and midground aquascaping
Shrimp and nano aquariums
Nature, Iwagumi, and jungle-style planted tanks
