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!

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.
NOTE: While Water Wisteria is one of our best selling aquarium plants, we do stock other forms of Hygrophila as well. Many of our Hygrophila's are just as hardy, check out our HARDY Hygrophila Cordata RED,
Or Hygrophila Cherry Leaf, or Hygrophila Compact

Customer Reviews
Arrived in amazing condition. Plants looked very healthy and have adapted well to my tank. Would definitely recommend!
The plants were awesome and looked very healthy.. They were well packaged and arrive very quickly. Will buy again
I can't give this a good review this is the second time ive ordered and it looks like complete crap. The plant looks dead on arrival. It looks like it was left out of the water for a while. Dead, faded and fell apart. I still put it in my tank and put lights in it but it withered away. Everything ended up in my filters by next morning.This is the second time I bought this plant and it was complete crap. The red root floaters i got with it look good, but this wisteria looks like it was beaten and thrown around before being shipped out. I dont think I can buy from you guys again if this is how the plants keep turning out
Hey, I dont know what happend in shipping but we wouldn't let this leave the building, much less the floor. If you send us a photo of a recent purchase and this is what it looks like we can help ya out. Sorry about this, Shipping to Maine isn't the easiest this time of year.

Plants arrived in great shape. Look good in the tank. So far I'm very pleased.
plant looked very well and lush, however they are very tall, probably 10 to 11 inches? I have a 20 gal tank and the stick out the top now, or lay over to one side, once they were planted.
