🌱 Introduction to Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Mini Honda"
Hydrocotyle Tripartita, commonly known as Mini Honda or Hydrocotyle Japan, is a fast-growing aquatic plant prized for its clover-like leaves and creeping carpet growth. A favorite in aquascaping—particularly in Iwagumi layouts—it forms a dense, vibrant green mat that spreads beautifully across the substrate, offering a soft and natural look to any tank.
This foreground plant thrives in medium to high light and responds very well to CO₂ supplementation, growing denser and more compact in enriched environments. Its unique leaf shape and rapid lateral spread make it ideal for aquarists who want to create a lush, ground-hugging underwater meadow.
Whether you’re a planted tank enthusiast or a beginner stepping into the aquascaping world, Mini Honda offers a blend of simplicity and elegance with high visual reward.
