HYGROPHILA CORYMBOSA – Fast-Growing Background Plant for Aquariums
Hygrophila corymbosa is a stem plant native to Southeast Asia, widely appreciated for its resilience and fast growth. Several varieties exist, each featuring slightly different leaf shapes, allowing aquarists to diversify their planted layouts. Emerged leaves are typically much darker compared to those growing fully submerged.
Also known as Giant Hygro, this species is perfect for beginners due to its adaptability to a wide range of conditions. Growing rapidly, Hygrophila corymbosa helps maintain aquarium balance by absorbing excess nutrients, thereby reducing the risk of algae outbreaks.
This plant can reach up to 50 cm in height and is ideal for the aquarium background. To maintain a neat and compact appearance, it is recommended to trim the shoots once they reach the water surface and stagger stem heights when planting to achieve a more natural look.
