Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig' - Plant

Hygrophila polysperma ‘Rosenervig’, also known as Sunset Hygro, is a fast-growing stem plant with pale green leaves highlighted by distinctive pink veins. Under stronger lighting, the contrast becomes more pronounced, making it an excellent colour accent in planted aquariums. Typically grows outwards as well as upwards, in a creeping fashion.

It is extremely easy to grow and adapts well to a wide range of water conditions, making it suitable for beginners as well as experienced aquascapers. CO₂ is not required but will enhance growth speed and leaf colouration. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth and allows for easy propagation by replanting cuttings. Ideal for midground or background placement.

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 requires frequent trimmings due to its fast growth rate, and to prevent shading other plants.
