CARE GUIDE

How to keep Hydrocotyle Incrassata.

Light

The manyflower Marshpennywort thrives in unobstructed sunlight, but it can also tolerate areas where sunshine is mixed with shade. Its native habitat reflects these same conditions. Excessive sun can scorch the plant, while too little light can weaken its vigor.

Temperature

Manyflower Marshpennywort originates from temperate habitats and does best in temperatures between 41 and 95 °F (5 to 35 ℃). In hotter areas, give it shade to mimic the cooler conditions it prefers. Additional watering during hot periods helps it tolerate the heat.
