Hydrocotyle Tripartita Care: Ultimate Guide
Hydrocotyle tripartita is best planted as a carpeting plant as it hugs the foreground and sends out runners on a daily basis. If the lighting in the tank is low, the plant could end up stretching up the tank walls; this will only happen with consistent low light conditions. Medium to high light conditions will result in lush growth. While some sources recommend compressing the plant to promote carpeting, this isn’t necessary, especially if a mat is placed in the tank where the plant is established. When new growth is starting to get out of control, pruning when necessary will ensure healthy and controllable growth. Injecting C02 will result in faster and more manageable growth.
