Hydrocotyle Tripartita TC Pot - Carpeting Plant for Planted Tanks & Terrariums

Carpet your planted tank or terrarium floor with ease using Hydrocotyle Tripartita, one of the most popular low-growing carpet plants in the hobby thanks to its tiny, deeply lobed leaves and dense, fast-spreading mat. Supplied in a tissue culture (TC) pot, this plant arrives pesticide-free, snail-free, and ready to separate into small portions for planting across your substrate.

Why Aquascapers Love It

• Fine, dense carpet: Small, finely divided leaves that form a lush green mat across the foreground of tanks and terrarium floors
• Fast spreading: Grows quickly under the right conditions, filling in bare substrate faster than many other carpet plants
• Pest and algae free: Lab-grown in a sterile TC pot, so it arrives free of snails, algae, and pests, safe to add straight into an established tank
• Versatile use: Works equally well as a submerged aquarium carpet or an emersed terrarium and paludarium groundcover
• Easy to divide: A single TC pot can be split into multiple small clumps, giving excellent value and coverage per pot

Care at a Glance

• Rinse the tissue culture gel off gently before dividing into small portions for planting
• Plant small clumps directly into substrate, spaced apart to let the carpet fill in naturally
• Grows best under moderate to high light with CO2 injection for a tight, low carpet; tolerates lower light with taller, more open growth
• Keep substrate consistently moist in terrarium or paludarium setups to encourage spreading

Whether you're building a lush aquascape foreground or a natural terrarium floor, Hydrocotyle Tripartita delivers reliable, fast carpeting coverage that's easy to establish. Each TC pot is inspected before packing to arrive healthy and ready to plant.
