Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides "variegata"

Small roundish leaves with white zone Horizontal to upright growth Also interesting for paludariums and Wabi-Kusa   Family Araliaceae Growth Rate Medium Height 30cm (11.8") but most of the growth is underwater Origin Original form from south-east Asia Category Oxygenator The Lawn Pennywort is moderately demanding as aquarium plant. It should well lit and benefits much from CO 2  addition and complete macro- and micronutrient supply via the water column. Otherwise the water parameters are of minor importance. Temperatures between about 22 and 28 are favourable, but the plant also tolerates colder water below 20 °C. Plant small bushes of several stems into the ground, with some space of each other. The shoots spread above the ground. Occasional trimming is necessary to keep the bush in shape. Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides is easily grown as terrestrial plant. Lay the shoots onto wet ground where they will root into the substrate and form a dense carpet. With its small, roundish, white and green leaves, the Variegated Lawn Pennywort provides a nice accent in the midground to foreground. It is also interesting as terrestrial, mat-forming plant for paludariums and Wabi-Kusa.
