HYGROPHILA CORYMBOSA 'STRICTA' – Hardy and Fast-Growing Aquarium Plant
Hygrophila corymbosa 'Stricta' is a variety originating from Thailand, valued for its rapid growth and exceptional hardiness, making it an excellent choice for beginner aquarists. With sturdy stems reaching heights of 15 to 40 cm and widths of about 10–15 cm, this plant quickly creates a lush and natural background in the aquarium.
The light green, dense leaves form rich clusters that enhance the aquarium’s appearance. In open-top tanks, the plant can easily emerge above the water surface, developing bluish-green leaves and charming small blue flowers.
