Product Description

Hygrophila Polysperma is a popular aquarium plants which performs very well in most aquarium environments. Undemanding but grows much quicker with good light and CO2 infusion. Very easy to propagate as any part of the plant will take root and grow, even the leaves. Under high light this plant will grow rapidly and will need regular pruning.

A perfect plant for the midground or background areas of your aquarium where a bushy feature is desired. If not trimmed often, growth can get leggy. By trimming regularly you will encourage the plant to development multiple shoots and as a result, a bushy plant is achieved. Growth can be fast, so be prepared to put in some time maintaining it, including fertilizing, trimming, re-planting and shaping.

To plant,
 remove the pot and the mineral wool carefully from the roots. Plant the stems at intervals and spread the loose roots into the bottom layer. When trimming, cut at any desired position and replant the cutting. The new plants will develop roots within a week.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Dave and the guys at Aquarium Gardens are without doubt the leaders in their field of Aquascaping. My wife and I have visited several times over the last couple of years and have always received fantastic advice and guidance. Two years ago we had one small tank, we now have three aquascapes all running CO2, this definitely wouldn’t be possible without all the support from the guys at Aquarium Gardens. Carry on doing what you’re doing because your business model is superb…..thanks once again Malcolm & Cheryl Orgill

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
