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
I was so excited to order from Dustin, as I have been watching his crazy shenanigans in his ads and learning about fish keeping from him since I began this hobby. When I got this wisteria, I was shocked at how many healthy roots there was! It’s insane! Put it in my goldfish tank for now to absorb some of these nitrates and it’s just amazing!! What a beaut!
It arrived looking great and is still doing good.
The plant arrived in perfect condition, it’s a healthy plant with roots already established. I definitely would buy more from these guys..
Dustin's plants are hands down the best quality plants I've ever bought for my aquariums, they came with vigorous roots already growing in nice sized bundles with 6+stems each. I was able to spread them around in 2-3 spots in my tank. All the foliage was very healthy looking no melt to be seen.
All good. Order was packed professionally, even with a cold pack.
