Hygrophila difformis

Hygrophila difformis from Asia is beautiful and undemanding stem plant.
Stems becomes 20-30 cm tall and 6-12 cm wide. A plant for beginners, which will help create balance in the aquarium from the start. Its rapid growth helps prevent algae because the plant absorbs a great number of nutrients from the water. The shortage of micronutrients leads to pale leaves, which may be an indication that the aquarium needs fertiliser.
In large aquariums its lobed leaves can create a distinctive group.

A bundle of stems or young plants gathered in an anchor. Remove the anchor and split into separate plants. Regarding stem plants, remove the leaves from the lowest 5 cm (2“). Remove any damaged leaves. Plant the individual plants with some distance into the bottom substrate. Roots will develop soon and the plant start growing.

(Please notice that bunches/bundled plants are currently NOT produced at Tropica's own nursery. We are unable to guarantee that they are free from harmful pesticides and thus we recommend NOT to put them directly in tanks with shrimps and other delicate fish. Keep bundled plants in tanks where water is changed twice a week for 2 weeks before you add shrimps or fish)
