Hygro pinna on Driftwood (Hygrophilia pinnatifida)

Hygrophila pinnatifida, commonly referred to as Hygro Pinna, is a striking aquatic plant renowned for its deeply lobed, fern-like leaves that create a beautifully textured underwater landscape. Pre-attached to a natural piece of driftwood, its distinctive foliage—featuring earthy greens, browns, and rich burgundy undersides—adds a touch of rustic, natural elegance to any freshwater aquarium, transforming it into a vibrant aquatic haven.

This unique epiphytic plant boasts a creeping, structural growth habit, offering a brilliant contrast to traditional broad-leaved or grassy species, and adds profound visual depth and intricate detail to your aquascape. This plant will flourish comfortably under medium to high lighting conditions. CO2 is not strictly mandatory, however, supplementing with CO2 injection and comprehensive nutrients will result in significantly denser growth and dramatically richer red coloration.

The length of the wood piece is roughly 4" to 6"
