This is a versatile and spectacular aquatic plant with distinctive clover-like, green leaves, and small white flowers. It has a lush delicate texture and makes a wonderful foreground or midground plant. This plant boosts oxygen levels, regulates nitrogen and toxin levels, and provides great shelter and cover for fish in freshwater aquariums. It’s a beautiful addition to any aquarium in the home or office. It comes from New Zealand and the Australian states of Queensland and Victoria.

Best Locations For Growing Hydrocotyle Tripartita 

This versatile plant can technically be placed anywhere in an aquarium and thrive. However, it prefers a stable environment, such as planting in the bottom of a tank.  It especially does well in sand as the roots easily push through. Hydrocotyle Tripartita can be grown in the open as well as being placed under other taller foliage. This plant prefers a pH range of 6.5 - 7.5, and water temperatures from 70 - 83 degrees Fahrenheit. It enjoys slow-moving freshwater. It’s a relatively slow grower that can be pruned for shape and size. 

Hydrocotyle Tripartita Sunlight Requirements

This plant thrives in medium to high light conditions. Low light conditions will thwart growth of this aquatic plant. Too much light may encourage algae growth. 

Hydrocotyle Tripartita Care

With its bright-green, clover-shaped leaves and contrasting white flowers, this aquatic plant makes a beautiful addition to any aquarium. Although low-growing, it still offers stunning motion and movement in the circulation of aquarium water. This plant is easily propagated by dividing the primary plant into several smaller pieces. 

Watering Hydrocotyle Tripartita 

As an aquatic plant, Hydrocotyle Tripartita does not require any additional watering. It draws nutrients from the water in the aquarium as it returns oxygen to the water. This plant looks best when planted in a bunch in the middle to background. 

Feeding Hydrocotyle Tripartita

This stunning plant grows best with liquid fertilizer and a nutrient-rich substrate. After situating this aquatic plant, an initial dose of a good liquid fertilizer will help the plant get established. Also, injecting the water with CO2 increases growth. Otherwise, this is a hardy, undemanding plant that does well in a stable environment.
