Pennywort

About Pennywort

Pennywort has round, coin-shaped leaves on trailing stems. It can be planted in the substrate, left to float, or allowed to climb out of the water. It grows quickly and absorbs a lot of nutrients, and its floating stems give cover to fry and surface-dwelling fish.

Most aquarium plants are grown above water at the nursery, so some leaves may melt in the first weeks while new submerged growth appears. Plant into a nutrient-rich substrate or add root tabs, and keep the temperature between 22 and 28°C.
