HYGROPHILA POLYSPERMA – Fast-Growing, Hardy Background Aquarium Plant Ideal for New Setups and Algae Control
Hygrophila polysperma is one of the easiest and most resilient aquatic plants available to aquarists. Native to Southeast Asia, it thrives even under poor conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginners and new tank setups. Its extremely fast growth and ability to absorb excess nutrients make it a powerful natural defense against algae in any aquarium.
Under strong lighting, new shoots develop attractive reddish-brown tips, adding warmth and color to the aquascape. Growing up to 50 cm tall, it is best used as a background plant, quickly forming dense, lush walls of greenery. Due to its rapid development, frequent trimming is required, which also promotes bushier lateral growth. Hygrophila polysperma adapts well to both low-tech and high-tech environments.
