Hygrophila Polysperma - Plant

Hygrophila polysperma is one of the easiest and fastest-growing stem plants available, making it ideal for beginners and new planted aquariums. Its bright green leaves grow rapidly under a wide range of conditions, helping absorb excess nutrients and improve tank stability.

It can be planted densely in the background or trimmed and replanted to create bushy groups in the midground. Hygrophila polysperma thrives in low to high light and does not require CO₂. Extremely adaptable and forgiving, this plant is perfect for establishing a healthy planted tank and maintaining water quality.

Plant the stems closely together in a bunch. This plant can tolerate overcrowding, therefore it can be planted closer for a bushier effect.

Cut healthy tops and replant, and lower nodes will sprout side shoots readily. This plant require frequent trimmings due to its fast growth rate, and to prevent shading other plants.
