Hygrophila difformis

Product description

Hygrophila difformis from Asia is a beautiful and easy-care stem plant. The stems are approximately 20–30 cm high and 6–12 cm wide. It is a plant that is suitable for beginners and that helps to create balance in the aquarium right from the start.

Its rapid growth helps prevent algae as the plant absorbs large amounts of nutrients from the water. Lack of micronutrients leads to pale leaves, which can be an indication that the aquarium needs fertilization. In larger aquariums, its lobed leaves can create a very decorative plant group.

FAQ about Hygrophila difformis

How do I plant Hygrophila difformis?

Remove the plant from the cup, gently rinse away the nutrient gel and divide it into several small portions. Plant them with some space between each portion so they can establish.

Is Hygrophila difformis free from snails and algae?

In vitro plants are grown under sterile conditions and normally arrive free from snails, algae and pesticides, making them suitable for sensitive shrimp aquariums.

Does Hygrophila difformis need CO₂?

Requirements depend on the species. CO₂ and balanced plant nutrition often produce denser, healthier growth, but follow the light and care requirements in the product description.

What matters during the first few weeks?

Provide stable lighting and nutrition, avoid major changes and remove deteriorating leaves. Newly planted specimens often need time to adapt to submerged growth.
