I have a bunch in emersed growth; out of water. However, when I plant them underwater it takes the cuttings (3 to 4 inch) forever to turn back into its submerged growth. The cuttings stay in their emersed state and they do not really sprout much leaves. If they do grow leaves they become big and does not have that delicate look. I know they are _hydrocotyle tripartita_ because I have some that are still in my tank before I planted some emersed. They grow very fast out of the water.
Not really, rather padding it with your hand and providing good light will make it bushy. Read about the plant here: tropica.com/en/plants/plantdetails/Hydrocotyletripartita(039B)/4458.
Hi Merriet. It depends, this particular type of mixed gravel is still acceptable for the plants to grow in; a very thin sand wouldn't be a good choice for example.
+Subhasish Bisoyi Yes, you can plant into the water as well, we simply find it easier to plant in just a few centimeters water depth. The grass-like plant is Eleocharis parvula, you can see more about it here tropica.com/en/plants/plantdetails/Eleocharisparvula(132C)/4572.
Yes, it requires some CO2 to grow well and not become 'leggy'. It's from the medium category, meaning that it needs good light, ferts and CO2. Read about the plant here: tropica.com/en/plants/plantdetails/Hydrocotyletripartita(039B)/4458
I'm growing it without Co2,but unfortunately..my fish pick at it. So growth is a step forward and a day later a step back so to speak. But,if you have the right light,its not exclusive to Co2 aquariums.
I found putting it in a well lit, enclosed terrainium in soil to get it to grow big before putting it in my aquariums. But once in my aquariums I don't actually plant it. But dangle it around wood and rocks, closer to the surface. It now grows very successfully in my aquariums and gives shrimplets and baby fish fry excellent hiding places away from their predatory tank mates. Has an interesting herblike smell when handled too. I don't use any C02 either. Just liquid fertiliser
Yes, you can. I have this plant growing out of lava rock on a waterfall. I use easy green liquid fertilizer from aquarium co-op. I am also doing a dry start with this plant in a sand bottom tank and its thriving. I'm pretty sure this plant would grow on the moon.
deeptendu chandra I don't think this species can be grown in sand. Tripartita, as the name suggests, has 3 partitions in each of their leaves. Dwarf ones have more of a rounded structure.
I have it on sand..but its scrambling better on some rocks I surrounded it with. The rocks also help to fend off fish. Gravel would be better then sands.
I did a big mistake. Instead of planting in small small bunch I planted single single strands and now they all growing individually like straight towers and very hard to make them sit inside substrate. Any suggestions?
It sounds as if the light is little to weak to make the plantlets stay low? Maybe you could add some plants too, makeing a denser plant mass to be able to promote their low growth by pressing your palm like suggested in the video caption.

yeah I'm like, "uhhhhhhh great! I was trying to learn if Hydrocotyle was an epiphyte and now I just want to curl up into a ball in the floor and weep." i need some coffee.
I do believe it will grow in gravel as long as you make sure to fertilise the water in the tank. Maybe also consider to add some Nutrition Capsules as well to add some nutrients for the roots.
I just bought this Tropica plant and will follow these instructions. Very helpful. Beautiful plants.

I know they are _hydrocotyle tripartita_ because I have some that are still in my tank before I planted some emersed. They grow very fast out of the water.
I think if they are grown in sunlight then dunked it's harder than grown emersed under fluorescent lights. My take.
Good info, thank you!
😁👍
:O so helpful thank you!
Tropica is the best when it comes to plant profiles and instructions. I have yet to try the plants though.
Thanks for your nice comment :)!
@@TropicaAquariumPlants np
At 2:34 in what's the name of the narrow leaf plant on the left top corner?
Does this plant grow Wild in Texas?
at 2:42 onward the tiny bubbles coming out are they CO2 release from leaves of plant?
It is oxygen release; thanks to the presence/addition of CO2, the plants generate oxygen by photosynthesis.
Ive been looking for Bolbitis heudelotii all over the USA..do you sell that?
Can hydrocotyle be in red/brown colour.???...looks fully healthy....i noticed it in emerged state beside a local pond nearby....
Does cutting the leaves of this plant make them more bushy?
Not really, rather padding it with your hand and providing good light will make it bushy.
Read about the plant here: tropica.com/en/plants/plantdetails/Hydrocotyletripartita(039B)/4458.
does it is a carpeting plant ?
This planet will grow without soil?
Hi Merriet. It depends, this particular type of mixed gravel is still acceptable for the plants to grow in; a very thin sand wouldn't be a good choice for example.
Awesome bro ❤️
can we plant these in an aquarium which already has water in it?
what is the grass like plants?
+Subhasish Bisoyi Yes, you can plant into the water as well, we simply find it easier to plant in just a few centimeters water depth. The grass-like plant is Eleocharis parvula, you can see more about it here tropica.com/en/plants/plantdetails/Eleocharisparvula(132C)/4572.
I can do, same think with hydrocotyle leucocephala? For carpeting
i am missing the nutrient rich substrate, co2, high lighting hahaha and the encouragement thingy
It goes up that way because it needs more light
does this plant require CO2? I have the same plants but mine dont come out as bushy
Yes, it requires some CO2 to grow well and not become 'leggy'. It's from the medium category, meaning that it needs good light, ferts and CO2. Read about the plant here: tropica.com/en/plants/plantdetails/Hydrocotyletripartita(039B)/4458

Explains why mine isn't doing a whole lot. I have a decent light and ferts, but no co2 and it's just barely growing

I don't use any C02 either. Just liquid fertiliser
Can i attach it a wood?
How much lumens do you have on your tank?
Does it really need a substrate cuz mine,I just put it on a driftwood and some kind of tying it to hold it on,and is it ok to do it like this?
Aaa im 5 years late, but no! It doesn't need substrate at all
Can I grow this plant in sand?
No... because sand doesnt have enough nutrients to make this grow
Use root tabs and ferts :))))
Yes, you can. I have this plant growing out of lava rock on a waterfall. I use easy green liquid fertilizer from aquarium co-op. I am also doing a dry start with this plant in a sand bottom tank and its thriving. I'm pretty sure this plant would grow on the moon.
How to differentiate between different hydrocotyles? Also, can it grow in sand?
deeptendu chandra I don't think this species can be grown in sand. Tripartita, as the name suggests, has 3 partitions in each of their leaves. Dwarf ones have more of a rounded structure.

@@TropicaAquariumPlants please make a video on how to trim long leaf plants which are not stem plants. I have a big confusion on that
Is there a way to train this plant to cover bare driftwood?
This plant doesnt grow on drift wood. But can be made to cover drift wood by plating in small pockets of driftwood where you have substrate
What is the name of the substrate?
Where can I get it in Mexico?

Moonlight Sonata is always depressing....
yeah I'm like, "uhhhhhhh great! I was trying to learn if Hydrocotyle was an epiphyte and now I just want to curl up into a ball in the floor and weep." i need some coffee.
Lol true
Can it grow in gravel? Someone? Anyone? I would love to have this plant! But trying to get soil in here is a pain, nope, no possible.
I do believe it will grow in gravel as long as you make sure to fertilise the water in the tank. Maybe also consider to add some Nutrition Capsules as well to add some nutrients for the roots.
