Japanese Dwarf Pennywort (Hydrocotyle Tripartita sp. 'Japan') is a very pretty mini pennywort that grows compact and bushy with a nice bright green colour tone. Each plant is just around 2-3cm in height.

Aquarzon recommends this plant as it is a very easy plant that is suitable even for low tech (without CO2 addition) tanks. It can be grown submersed or emersed and looks beautiful either way.

This pretty plant can be used as a foreground carpeting plant or as a midground creeping plant.

Japanese Dwarf Pennywort is best used in an aquascape that needs a beautiful looking plant with a distinct leaf pattern. If it is used as a midground plant, we recommend of thinking of ways of using it creatively.

The traditional way of using it as a midground plant is to keep it clustered into a bushy plant.

However, Aquarzon recommends a different way of using it as a midground plant which is by either growing it over rocks and wood and also letting it dangle down which can create a truly stunning, natural creeping effect. 

Another creative way is to grow it on a floating pumice rock.
