Product Description:

Hydrocotyle verticillata, also known as whorled pennywort, whorled marshpennywort or shield pennywort, is a flowering plant found in South and North America and the West Indies. Its creeping habit and unusual leaves give it its common names. It grows in places that are marshy, boggy, or even wet.

Leaves: The leaves of Hydrocotyle verticillata are unique and easily recognizable. They are round, umbrella-like, and sit on long, thin petioles (stems), giving them a distinct, whorled appearance. The leaves can vary in size but are generally small, ranging from 1 to 3 cm in diameter. pH: 6.0-7.5, Temperature: 18-28°C (64-82°F)

Stems: The plant has long, slender stems that support the leaves, and these stems can grow either vertically or horizontally depending on the growth conditions.

Growth Pattern: It grows by sending out runners (stolons) that produce new plants at intervals, allowing it to spread and form dense mats.

Lighting: Prefers moderate to high lighting to maintain its compact growth and vibrant green color.

CO2: While not strictly necessary, CO2 supplementation can enhance growth and promote a more robust appearance.
