Brazilian Pennywort 'Variegated'

Hydrocotyle leucocephala 'Variegated'

Why We Love This Plant

  • Selected for shrimp tanks
  • Improves water quality
  • No CO₂ required
  • Beginner-friendly

Variegated Brazilian Pennywort is the same easy-care round-leaved stem plant as standard Hydrocotyle leucocephala, but with leaves that display irregular pale green to cream-white markings rather than a solid green. The variegation pattern varies by leaf and by conditions, giving the plant a distinctive speckled look. It ships as a small bunch of cut stems, lead-weighted together at the base.

Same adaptable, fast-growing care as standard Brazilian Pennywort. Can be planted in substrate or left floating. The variegated form is rarer than the solid green variety and adds a different visual texture to planted tanks.

Care Notes

Variegated Pennywort grows under medium light without CO2. The variegation pattern is most visible under good lighting. Trim regularly to prevent it from taking over the surface and shading other plants.

Like the standard form, it can be planted in substrate or left floating. Basic liquid fertilization supports the fast growth rate.
