Hydrocotyle verticillata, commonly known as 'Shield Pennywort', is a versatile and attractive aquatic plant. It's particularly popular in tissue culture form for aquarium enthusiasts.

Water Parameters for Optimal Growth

• Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 20°C to 28°C (68°F to 82°F).
• pH Level: Thrives in a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.
• Hardness: Prefers soft to moderately hard water, generally 3 to 12 dGH.
• Lighting: Requires moderate to high lighting for optimal growth.
• CO2 Addition: CO2 supplementation can enhance growth, but it's not strictly necessary.
• Nutrient Levels: Benefits from regular fertilization, especially in high-light, CO2-supplemented setups.

Note: Hydrocotyle verticillata is adaptable, but consistent water parameters are key to healthy growth. Avoid sudden changes in environmental conditions.
