Variegated Pennywort is a rare twist on a classic favorite. With lily pad-shaped leaves marbled in green and creamy white, this plant floats across the surface or trails gracefully when planted in substrate. It adds a splash of contrast and texture to any aquascape. Like its solid-green cousin, Variegated Pennywort grows fast, provides excellent cover, and helps absorb excess nutrients. Whether used as a floating accent or planted vine-style, it’s a stylish standout in any freshwater setup. Care and Planting Directions This plant can be floated or planted in substrate. For best coloration and compact growth, give it moderate to high lighting. It prefers gentle water flow and benefits from regular trimming to manage spread. Can be grown emersed in open-top tanks as well. Specs Name: Hydrocotyle sp.
