Hydrocotyle 'Japan' is a fast-growing, low-spreading plant with small, clover-like leaves that form dense mats across the foreground or hardscape. Sold in mat form, it's ideal for creating vibrant green carpets or climbing over driftwood and rocks in aquascapes.

• Light Level: Medium to High (Fluval 3.0 recommended for compact carpeting; AquaSky for looser spread)
• Placement: Rooted in substrate or attached to hardscape
• Fertilization: Benefits from root tabs and liquid ferts like Easy Green or Seachem Flourish
• CO₂: Recommended for compact, fast growth, but not strictly required
• Notes: Regular trimming encourages a dense, tidy carpet; great for nano tanks and creative aquascaping
