HYGROPHILA CORYMBOSA – Background Aquarium Plant
Hygrophila corymbosa is a widely known stem plant from Southeast Asia, prized for its rapid growth and its ability to absorb excess nutrients, thus naturally helping to prevent algae outbreaks. Thanks to its resilience and ease of cultivation, it is ideal for both beginners and experienced aquarists aiming to create a lush and stable aquarium layout.
Several varieties of this species exist, each distinguished by subtle differences in leaf shape and color. Emerged leaves tend to be darker and tougher, while submerged leaves are lighter and more delicate, offering a dynamic and natural visual effect.
Hygrophila corymbosa grows quickly, reaching up to 50 cm in height, making it perfect as a background plant that forms a dense and harmonious bushy effect. It is advisable to trim stems once they reach the water surface to encourage lateral growth and maintain a tidy and compact appearance.
When grown under medium-high lighting and with good CO₂ supplementation, Hygrophila corymbosa displays its full ornamental and functional potential. It is also a strategic choice for those wishing to stabilize aquarium parameters naturally.
