HYGROPHILA POLYSPERMA 'ROSANERVIG' – Aquarium Plant with Marbled Pink Leaves and Pale Veins for Unique Color Accents
Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig' is a decorative variation of the classic Hygrophila polysperma, prized for its distinct pale-veined, marbled pink leaves. This plant is undemanding and grows well under a range of conditions, making it suitable even for beginner aquarists. However, to achieve its full pink coloration, strong and consistent lighting is essential. The stems grow between 20–40 cm tall and 5–8 cm wide, ideal for midground or background planting in smaller aquariums.
Occasionally, it may develop fully green shoots. These should be removed to preserve the plant’s unique pink marbling. The pale veins are likely caused by a harmless virus that inhibits chlorophyll production in cells around the leaf veins, creating the white appearance. This virus is not transmissible to other plants in the tank.
