Pennywort — Hydrocotyle verticillata
The coin-leaf plant that works beautifully above and below the waterline
Pennywort is one of the most distinctive aquatic plants available — its perfectly round, coin-shaped leaves make it an instant focal point in any aquascape. Unlike most stem plants, it grows equally well fully submerged or emergent above the water surface, making it a rare dual-purpose plant that fits tanks, terrariums, and indoor water gardens alike. Spreads naturally through runners for effortless, organic coverage.
Aquascaping tip: Let runners spread naturally along the substrate for a low carpet effect in the foreground, or allow stems to grow toward the surface for a mid-ground accent. Works beautifully alongside fine-leafed plants like foxtail or hornwort for contrast.

Two ways to grow
1. Fully submerged in aquariums
2. Emergent in terrariums or pond setups
Most aquatic plants are strictly one or the other. Pennywort thrives in both — use it in a planted tank as a foreground or midground accent, or let it grow above the waterline in a paludarium, indoor water garden, or outdoor tub pond. The same bundle works for either setup.

Customer questions answered
(Q) Do I need CO₂ injection to grow this successfully?
= CO₂ is optional, not required. Pennywort grows at a medium pace without it under medium to high lighting. Adding CO₂ will accelerate growth and keep leaves a brighter, richer green — but most hobbyists grow it successfully in standard low-tech setups. A weekly liquid fertilizer is the more impactful upgrade if you want to improve results without CO₂ equipment.
(Q) Can I really grow this outside the water, and how does that work?
= Yes — Pennywort is a true amphibious plant. When grown emergent (above the waterline), it produces slightly larger, more upright leaves and often grows more vigorously than when fully submerged. You can place it in a paludarium, a shallow water dish, or an outdoor pond or tub garden with its roots wet. It's the same plant shipped to you — no special emergent variety needed.
(Q) How does it spread, and will it take over my tank?
= Pennywort spreads through horizontal runners along the substrate — new plantlets emerge naturally a few inches from the parent stem. Growth is medium-paced, so it fills in gradually rather than explosively. You can let runners spread freely for a natural carpet effect, or trim and redirect them to keep it contained. It will not aggressively crowd out neighboring plants the way fast stem plants sometimes do.
What's included: 1 bundle of Pennywort (Hydrocotyle verticillata), 1–4 inches, ready to plant in substrate or place in an emergent setup upon arrival.

Worth every penny!!
Oh my god it’s SO LUXURIOUS! And WARM! And heavy in a good way! I feel like a queen, I feel so happy when I look at it when I run my hand across it, when I wrap up in it. It just is stunning and cozy and perfect. The twin size almost feels extra large because I sleep comfortably under it on my queen size bed, and so far- no shedding. I haven’t washed it yet but as you can see it didn’t need it to undo any vacuum sealing- super fluffy right out of the box and no chemical smell I just put it right on my bed! I got it on sale for $43 I believe, and personally I think that’s a steal. This feels like those $200 blankets everyone talks about.

Super luxe throw!
Color: Solid - Beige, Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Solid - Beige, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
This is an absolutely incredible throw/blanket, especially for the price. Beautiful neutral color that will go with any decor. Very siIky to the touch with a coolness to it (hard to describe), thick and dense, and has a wonderful weight to it. It will be so cozy and warm in the cooler months. I own four Lola blankets at over $299 each (gulp) and these absolutely rival that brand in both quality and overall value. The faux fur/mink feels exactly the same for both brands. The only visible difference is that the back side of the WDCOZY brand is lined in a different material which also has a great quality feel and texture to it, very luxe. I've already ordered several more for Christmas gifts and for our AirBNB. I photographed the WDCOZY on the left comparing it to the Lola on the right. You can see how much fluffier the WDCOZY brand is. Highly recommend!

Very real like, hi-quality fur throw - love it!
Color: Tie-dye Brown, Size: Throw (50" x 60"), Color: Tie-dye Brown, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
Love this Throw - it is much prettier in person than the photo’s online. It is super soft and fur like - and is such a high quality throw. The fur looks and feels very real and the back side is a soft velvet like fabric - yummy!!! It’s very warm and cuddly!! I love the elegant look it has on the foot of our guest room bed - it’s the perfect size for a cozy nap! All in all I think it is a great value for the price and would encourage anyone looking at it to buy it!

Lovely blanket
Color: Solid - Ivory, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
We bought this blanket for my 89 yr old mother in law who just came home from the hospital. She loves to sleep with it and keeps it on her bed. It’s so cozy and brings comfort and warmth. It’s very soft on the reverse side even tho it’s not furry. Many have commented on the quality and how beautiful it is. Would highly recommend
