Description: Hydrocotyle leucocephala, commonly known as Brazilian Pennywort, is a popular aquatic plant admired for its distinctive, round, coin-shaped leaves that grow along slender, creeping stems. Native to South and Central America, this versatile plant can be grown either rooted in the substrate or left floating on the water's surface, making it suitable for a variety of aquascape designs. Thriving in moderate to high lighting conditions, Hydrocotyle leucocephala is fast-growing and easy to care for, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists. While it doesn't require CO₂ supplementation, providing it can enhance growth and leaf size. Regular trimming is recommended to maintain its shape and prevent it from overshadowing other plants. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Brazilian Pennywort offers practical benefits in freshwater aquariums. It provides shelter and spawning grounds for fish and invertebrates, and its rapid growth helps absorb excess nutrients, thereby improving water quality and reducing algae growth. Its adaptability and attractive appearance make it a valuable addition to a wide range of aquatic setups.
