Description:
Hydrocotyle leucocephala 'Variegated', also known as Brazilian Pennywort, is a fast-growing aquatic plant from South America, characterized by its half-dollar-like leaves. This versatile plant can be used in the foreground, midground, or background of aquariums and can form compact bushes or a carpeting effect under high light and CO2 conditions. The variegated version requires more light to maintain its vibrant pattern. It is easy to propagate by trimming and replanting stems, making it suitable for beginners. The plant thrives in medium to high lighting and requires a nutrient-rich substrate.
