A plant that grows fast and adapts easily, thriving in relatively hard water. Pennywort will grow towards the light and the surface, where it will spread. It does not need to be rooted. When grown in ponds the leaves or larger then grown in an aquarium. I use this plant in my pond where I have had vines grow over four feet long and with endless side shoots. Grown vertical or horizontal this is a great plant.
If you put small weights on the vine, you can hold it down to be used as a foreground plant.
I like how you can add small vines any where to add contrast to large or dark plants. The use of this plant for aquascaping is endless. The fast growth makes it a good choice as a algae buster. |
