Finally, a pennywort big enough that the Cory cats haven't been able to dig up and shred!!
Hydrocotyle leucocephala is a popular aquarium name that is often sold under the common name of Brazilian Pennywort. Hydrocotyle leucocephala makes an excellent background plant and provides a unique texture with many large round green leaves. Brazilian Pennywort can tolerate a wide range of lighting conditions, and does very well even without supplemental CO2, making it a good choice for all levels of aquarium keepers. It is particulary good in fry tanks, where the fine roots give excellent cover for baby fish.

The plants came in great condition! I really love the lily pad shaped leaves. I ended up planting some and floating some and now the floating plants have become a resting perch for my betta fish! Really nice plants, thank you!!
This plant arrived super healthy and bushy but I’m having a difficult time keeping this one alive. We will see if I totally lose it. I do like the large leaves.
Great plants!
I received in perfect condition, plants were very healthy. I received more plants than expected in each group for my money. Very pleased with my purchase.
Everything I have received from KG Tropicals has been healthy and great!
This plant grows roots at each and every bend of the stem, it's pretty cool!!! I pinched off two pieces when I received these and placed them in different areas of my aquarium right away and the babies are already showing new growth! Very pleased with this plant! <3
Still doing well.
Plants are beautiful and so healthy.
It looks healthy, well packaged, seems to be growing already.
Big healthy plants...still acclimating to my very hard water but there has been new growth right away! My shrimp are loving all of the new surface area to graze on.
Of all the plants ordered this one arrived in poorest condition (everything else was great). It was still decent don’t get me wrong, some of the leaves were a bit wilted. But it’s been a struggle bus, most of it has died. Tried using the whole plant as a floater and it has not gone well. Minimal surface agitation and good amount of light. Attempting to plant some of what’s remaining into the substrate and leaving a little bit of it as a floater. Hoping to salvage my mess 😅
Plants are always hard. It's tough to give an honest review so soon after getting them. That being said they arrived in great shape, none was melted and none of the stem plants had broken stems etc...The real question is will they thrive in my tank...who knows But I have great hope for them I check back in 6 months or so.
The plants were really healthy and big plants, and a generous amount. The plants are growing fast. I just placed another order for more.
Plant is holding its own for now. It was just small
Pennywort was nice and healthy I’m happy with that. KGTropicals always gets items out on time and usually very good. I was not as happy with the Christmas moss it was in such small pieces it just made a mess of my aquarium after I had tied it to decor. So I took it off it’s in a container I don’t know what to do with those tiny pieces. Penny wort doing nicely. Still a big fan of this company. Wish moss balls were still easy to find. I will not hesitate to order from you guys again.
I gave a review in the message section of your kg tropical podcast which you may not look back on! The plant and snails arrived happy and healthy! Thank you so much!😊

Purchased for newer aquarium. Needed something that could float due to crayfish in tank.
Beautiful plant came in very healthy
All the plants are beautiful and healthy.
All the plants came in looking great.
Nice healthy looking plant
Healthy plant that is thriving already in my shrimp tank!
Huge bundle of pennywort. I'm so happy!
Great selection. They take care in wrapping and shipping. Definitely will be a repeat customer.
Pennywort arrived looking healthy. Was tedious to untangle the many fine strands, but provided multiple viable plantings. These were the first to begin wilting after planting. This may be normal, but is my first experience with live aquatic plants. Hopefully, the roots will surprise me, and regrow new shoots.
Good news and bad news...The bad news: this one didn't survive the shipping process. The good news: John responded very quickly and gave me store credit with no hesitation. Don't hesitate to order anything from here. I've been keeping fish and plants long enough to know sometimes plants just don't make it, and after the superb customer service I experienced I have no doubts about ordering again.
Excellent packaging and product quality.
Love
Plant arrived beautiful and healthy!
Excellent Quality!!
Nice big green leaves on this one. Was very happy with my order. Will definitely order from this seller again.
It looks great my snails like hiding between them and my goldfish swim between them two. Very nice, would buy again.
Pennywort had fantastic roots. I was able to propogate them into multiple different areas. Definitely a fast grower and it came fast and well packaged.
