Hygrophila Salicifolia Narrow Leaf
Hygrophila salicifolia is an aquarium plant that is great for all skill levels. Often compared to Water Wisteria, this fast-growing Hygro is just as hardy while offering a more upright growth habit, making it an excellent choice for filling out the background of a planted aquarium. Like many aquatic plants, it may experience some initial melt as it adjusts to a new tank. Give it time to establish healthy roots and it will quickly rebound. Once settled, Hygrophila salicifolia grows vigorously and adapts well to a wide range of water conditions.
As long as aquarium parameters remain reasonably stable, this plant will continue producing new growth with minimal effort. In lower light setups, expect slightly leggier growth, while higher light and CO2 injection will produce thicker stems and faster development. If you're looking for a hardy, fast-growing stem plant, this is a great one to try.
