Water Wisteria AKA The HARDIEST Hygrophila (Hygrophila difformis)
These have been underwater in a big deep basin for 2 1/2-3 weeks and should transition perfect to your aquarium.
These are NICE Underwater grown plants with decent roots. The tops have the split leaf underwater growth, there are still some leaves with the above water more oval leaves lower.
They are about 6-7 inches tall. They are a NITRATE SPONGE!
XL Water Wisteria photos are labeled "XL". You'll get 12-15 stems.
ABOVE WATER photos are labeled "ABOVE WATER"
Water Wisteria is simply an AWESOME beginner plant. Water Wisteria AKA Hygrophila difformis, can take anything you can throw at it.
True to it's latin name, difformis means to be irregularly or unevenly or differently formed. This hygrophila's foliage is ruffled and unique, adding a striking texture to your tank.
Wisteria one of those plants that when you get it going it will grow like a weed. Try it out while you are a rookie and see. Water Wisteria does well in a newly planted tank.
I like to float it personally as it gets more light and send off some really great long flowing roots. Fish love hiding and breeding in Water Wisteria's roots.
In an order you get 4-6 nice bushy stems of it, often with great roots already going.
The stems are beefy as if they have been growing in down in dirt. This picture doesn't do this great plant justice... This is one of our best selling plants for a reason. We grow them in a 90 gallon aquarium in the greenhouse which gets FULL morning sun. The plants love this and grow like crazy for us...then on to you.

Customer Reviews
Plants arrived quickly and healthy. The lighter green looks great with the darker Java moss I have. Thanks Dustin and friends!
Plants arrived on time in excellent condition. I think out of the two bundles I may have had three that I ended up not planting. Nothing was inherently wrong They were just the least healthy looking plants. But there was nothing wrong with them. The only thing that was frustrating was trying to get the plant separated from the bundle, and the wrap that the roots are wrapped in. You need to take your time and be very very gentle. My roots were woven deep into that. If you take your time and tear by splitting away from the roots versus, just trying to pull it off the roots, you will be fine.I do want to add they did a fantastic job inspecting the plants, but I did follow their advice to inspect myself. Upon inspection, I only found three snails. I soaked my plants overnight in de-chlorinated water and the snails I found were dead. All plants are planted and look beautiful! All in all very happy with my plants! Thank you guys!
well packaged and fresh thriving plants. Arrived very quickly.
The packaging was amazing. Very robust and protective. Probably the best I’ve ever seen plants shipped in. The plants arrived looking vibrant, just like in the pictures. I just got them all in the tank. Aquascaping will have to wait until I have a day off.
nice healthy plants, large selection was sent to me, my betta fish loved it.
