Hygrophila pinnatifida

[NigelK8485]

Anybody grow this? I've been looking at pictures and can't decide if I love it or hate it. Some pictures it looks amazing, others it looks like it just grows wildly.

I ended up ordering three bunches anyways, but was hoping to see some pictures of anyone else's.

It's an awesome looking plant due to the unique appearance of its leaf structure. The fern-like leaves look particularly nice in Amano Nature-style type tanks but might look little too wild for some in overly manicured stem plant tanks. Just depends on the look you're going for. Like most hygros it is definitely a nutrient hog and will likely need an extra dose of potassium.

Alright, I've got some potassium nitrate and monopotassium phosphate on the way so hopefully that'll cover its needs.

Will do! I'm terrible at ID'ing plants and I have quite a few bunches coming of different stuff, so hopefully I will be able to tell it all apart.

It has a very distinguishable leaf structure so you should be good!
