Care Tips: Polygonum hydropiper, also known as water pepper, is a unique stem plant often used in aquascaping for its delicate, narrow leaves and potential for reddish hues under strong light. It prefers soft, slightly acidic water with moderate to high light. CO₂ supplementation encourages stronger growth and coloration. Trim regularly to maintain shape and prevent it from becoming leggy. It adds a soft, natural look and can be a beautiful contrast in nature-style layouts.
