Hydrocotyle Tripartita (also sold as "Hydrocotyle Japan") is a clover-leaved carpeting plant made famous by aquascapers like Takashi Amano. Versatile enough for foreground, midground, or background use, it grows fast and can carpet the foreground when trimmed regularly under strong light and CO2. This listing is the standard-leaf "Regular" cultivar as a tissue-culture cup, grown in vitro to guarantee zero pests, algae, or snails.
