In the warmer regions of the Hydrocotyle verticillata is quite a common plant
It prefers very moist soils and also grows in shallow water
 It differs from the more wide-spread H
leucocephala by the form of its leaves that are formed like a tiny parasol and have no slot.
Cultivating H. verticillata in an aquarium is not really difficult
One of the most important factors is light, as its height depends on light intensity
The more intense, the smaller the plant will stay
verticillata. Its creeping runners grow along the substrate, forming a dense carpet. Use a sharp pair of scissors for foreground layout and maintenance and for trimming the plant or its runners.
