READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.

Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.

Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Hydrocotyle tripartita ‘Mini’, often referred to as Hydrocotyle ‘Japan’, is a popular aquarium plant known for its bright green, clover-shaped foliage and vining growth habit. Originally popularized through nature-style aquascaping by Takashi Amano, it’s widely used for adding texture, shape and color in planted aquariums and terrariums.

This versatile plant can be used in both the foreground and midground, where it spreads through runners to form dense bushes or trailing vines depending on how it’s trimmed. Its signature leaf shape and vibrant green color makes it an excellent choice for softening hardscape edges and filling in negative space with a natural, organic look.

Hydrocotyle tripartita ‘Mini’ is generally undemanding, though sufficient lighting is important to maintain denser growth. In lower light conditions, it tends to grow more vertically, and can become leggy in an attempt to reach more light. With medium to high lighting, CO2 injection, and consistent fertilization, this dainty aquarium plant grows quickly and can become chaotic without regular trimming to maintain shape. Propagation is simple! Snip along the stem and replant into the substrate to encourage branching and fuller plant groups.

Reviews

cool plant

"Love this plant, but still haven't figured out the right conditions for it. It ends up rotting and dying pretty quickly. I have some in my terrarium that is lasting a bit longer, but still not what I'd like."

Super Fast Shipping! Everything look so good its almost fake!

"I ordered from this site based off the other reviews and let me tell you! Not only did these plants arrive super happy and healthy, they were able to sit for a little while I finished cycling my tank. I love that you don't have to rush to put these plants in your tank because they are so hardy!"

Great plant

"Arrived healthy and great. Super happy with the purchase"

Doing well

"This is another cute little plant. It has really reached itself out of the water and also seem to be propagating itself from its leaves with roots attached. I’m planting them in different locations to help them thrive. Again good quality, no melting doing well. Would highly recommend"

— Nakenya A. (5/5)
