Category: Aquarium Plants

A very compact variety of Hygrophila corymbosa, with the leaves set close to the stalk.

Forms numerous side shoots, enhancing the compact appearance. The leaves are a dark brownish-green, when the plant leaves the nursery, but after a transitional period in the aquarium they turn pale green and silver-white on the underside.

In strong light, the newest leaves may become reddish brown and in dimmer light, the oldest ones die away after a while. New side shoots often forms to replace the old ones.

Victoria B. ★★★★★

The leaves really do sit tight against the stalk, giving it that dense, bushy look I was after for the back corner. It’s already throwing out side shoots after just a week, which makes it feel like a proper little shrub.

Samuel Y. ★★★★★

Planted it in the midground and within two weeks the side shoots started filling in beautifully — exactly the compact look I was after. The leaves are a deeper olive-brown than my other stem plants, which gives the tank a nice contrast.

Daniel ★★★★★

The dark brownish-green foliage adds a nice contrast against my lighter green background plants, and the side shoots started appearing within the first week. It's staying low and bushy exactly where I planted it, which is what I wanted for the midground.
