Hygrophila pinnatifida 'UK' is a popular variant of H. pinnatifida, originally developed in the Uthara Kannada, India. This cultivar is known for its distinctive, finely divided leaves with a dark green to reddish-brown hue, creating a stunning contrast in planted aquariums. Like the other varieties of H. pinnatifida, it has a moderate growth rate but requires optimal conditions to maintain its vibrant color and compact growth.A nutrient-rich substrate helps promote strong root development, though it can also be grown attached to hardscape elements like driftwood or rocks due to its epiphytic nature.
