Sreepadma JR5 Hydrocotyle Tripartita | TC Live Plant

Sreepadma JR5 Hydrocotyle Tripartita is a premium tissue culture aquarium plant loved by aquascapers for its vibrant green, clover-shaped leaves and fast-spreading growth. This versatile foreground plant creates a lush carpet under bright lighting while also naturally creeping over driftwood and rocks, adding a fresh, nature-inspired look to planted aquariums. Being tissue cultured, it is free from algae, pests, snails, and harmful chemicals, making it a safe choice for shrimp tanks and planted aquascapes. Bright lighting and regular trimming encourage compact, dense carpeting growth.

Key Features

• Tissue Culture Safety: Lab-grown in sterile nutrient gel, making it 100% safe for sensitive shrimp, snails, and delicate fish right out of the cup. 
• Versatile Growth Habit: Functions excellently as a foreground carpet, a midground bush, or an epiphyte wedged into driftwood and rocks. 
• High Adaptability: Can be grown fully submerged in aquariums or emersed in high-humidity setups like terrariums and paludariums. 
• Rapid Propagation: Spreads vigorously via horizontal runners; simple stem cuttings with a node can easily be replanted to expand the layout. 
• Training Potential: Responds well to mechanical retardation, meaning you can manually press down creeping stems or trim aggressively to force a flat, tight carpet.
