🌸 Description
Hygrophila pinnatifida “Roseus” is a rare and highly sought‑after variant of the classic H. pinnatifida, prized for its soft rose‑pink undertones, deeply lobed leaves, and compact, ornamental growth habit. Unlike the standard form, “Roseus” displays:

– Blushed pink to copper tones under strong lighting
– More delicate, refined leaf structure
– A slower, more controlled growth rate, making it ideal for precision layouts
– A creeping or epiphytic growth style, allowing attachment to wood, stone, or substrate

This plant adds a sophisticated, botanical texture to aquascapes—perfect for nature-style, diorama, and high-end display tanks.

💧 Care Requirements

🔆 Lighting
– Medium to high light is essential to bring out the signature rose coloration.
– Under low light, leaves turn more olive and growth becomes leggy.

🧪 CO₂ & Water Parameters
– CO₂ injection: Strongly recommended for compact growth and vibrant color.
– pH: 6.0–7.2
– GH: 4–10
– KH: 1–5
– Temperature: 22–28°C

This variant responds beautifully to stable, soft to medium water.

🌱 Nutrients
– Iron-rich fertilization enhances red/pink tones.
– Requires consistent micro and macro dosing, especially nitrate and phosphate.
– Root tabs help if planted in substrate, but it also thrives as an epiphyte.

🪨 Placement & Growth Style
– Can be attached to driftwood or stone using glue or thread.
– When grown epiphytically, it forms horizontal, creeping runners with upright fronds.
– In substrate, it grows more vertically, forming a small bush.

Ideal placement:
– Midground feature plant
– Accent on hardscape
– Transition zones between shadows and highlights

✂️ Trimming & Propagation
– Trim tops to encourage side shoots and denser growth.
– Replant cuttings or attach them to new surfaces.
– Avoid aggressive trimming; “Roseus” grows slower than the standard form.
