Cardamine

Cardamine Lyrata Vietnam, Cardamine Vietnam, Japanese Cress, Chinese Ivy

Cardamine Lyrata is a marsh plant native to Asia. It develops in the same clover-like pattern as Hydrocotyle. High light and CO2 can keep this plant at a modest growth rate, resulting in a dense bush of foliage with a striking effect in an aquascape. This plant looks best when planted in groups or clumps rather than individual pieces. It may also be cultivated floating and provides excellent cover for fry, shrimp, and nervous fish.

Trim stems and replant on pushing apart dense clusters and separating the roots to propagate.
