HYGROPHILA LANCEA 'ARAGUAIA' – Compact Aquarium Plant with Reddish-Brown Foliage Ideal for Midground or Carpet Use
Hygrophila lancea 'Araguaia', recently reclassified from its former name Hygrophila spec. Araguaia, is a dwarf aquatic plant highly valued for its reddish-brown foliage and compact growth. This versatile species can grow both vertically and horizontally, and under optimal conditions, it creeps along the substrate to form a dense, colorful carpet. When grown emersed, it often produces small indigo flowers, making it a beautiful option for paludariums and terrariums as well.
This plant thrives under medium to high lighting and benefits greatly from consistent CO₂ supplementation. Despite its delicate appearance, it performs best when planted in dense clusters, which helps create a stable, bushy structure. In small aquariums or nano tanks, just a few stems can add a striking touch of color. It’s ideal for detailed layouts and aquascaping that requires precision and subtle color contrast.
Main features:
Compact, moderate growth, reaching up to 30 cm
Thin leaves with intense reddish-brown coloration
May form a creeping carpet across the substrate
Produces small indigo flowers when grown emersed

Why choose Hygrophila lancea 'Araguaia':
This compact and vibrant plant is perfect for aquarists seeking a colorful and versatile species for midground or carpeting purposes. Its creeping growth habit and unique hue make it a natural focal point without overwhelming the aquascape, fitting beautifully in both small and large tank designs.
