Hydrocotyle leucocephala is an easy to grow stem plant that will thrive in all aquariums. Because it does not need to be rooted it can be used as a floating plant, providing a hiding place for young fry. It has been used as an herb in the tropics.
The plant typically grows to a height of 4 to 8 inches, even taller (24 in.) under high light conditions which has been my experience. The width of each stem is about 2 to 6 inches, based on leaf growth. The leaf is roundish to reniform and alternating.
