Hydrocotyle 'Japan', is a popular carpeting plant with clover-like leaves. Native to Australia and New Zealand, it is a fast-growing plant that can quickly cover the aquarium substrate with its small leaves.

Under high light conditions, Hydrocotyle tripartita grows short and compact, making it an excellent choice for creating a lush, dense carpet. In lower light conditions, the plant tends to grow taller and more adventitious. Regular trimming can help to keep the plant looking neat and tidy.

Hydrocotyle tripartita can also be used in hardscape layouts, attached to rocks and driftwood to create a natural-looking effect. The plant will gradually grow over the hardscape and blend in seamlessly with the rest of the aquascape.

Hydrocotyle tripartita is undemanding in water parameters and will grow quickly when provided with at least medium light. It can thrive in a wide range of aquarium setups, from low-tech to high-tech, but CO2 addition will result in much denser growth. Ideal for the foreground, this is a versatile and attractive plant that can be used in a variety of aquascape designs. Its fast growth and easy-care requirements make it a popular choice for many aquarium enthusiasts.
