Hygrophila Salicifolia (Rugged background plant)
We have become known for our Hygrophilas.
THIS IS A BANGER. (I know people who keep this beast with cichlids... but I don't know your fish)
THESE ARE SWEET LOOKING PLANTS. Better than the photos!
This Hygrophila Salicifolia is one that you must try no matter what skill level. It is a relentless plants. You have probably heard of water wisteria. This plant is it's cousin if you will.
We love this hygro because it brings you that big strong stem plants look that you want as your background. It might pause for just a second to get rolling in your aquarium but rest assured, as long as you are running even remotely decent water, this plant will THRIVE for you.
You could pull out each individual stem out of the bunches we sell and it would branch out on its own. (This is a favorite plant during our $1 per stem sale for this very reason. The single stems are WOW when left to grow out on their own)
If you are running lower light aquariums this plant will be a tab more leggy and thinner.
On a scale of 1-10 I give this a two for ease of keeping.
Customer Reviews
Got 2 big bunches- really love the generous amount of plants you get - planted one bunches together and separated the other one into stems - little bit of trouble getting them to stay down - not as easy as it looks on youtube - but they seem to be doing well so far
I ordered four of these on sale not only did I receive them in great condition, but they were very large portions and are doing very well in my tanks
Big robust bunch with vigorous roots. It has hit the ground running. Lost very few leaves and new growth within days.
The plants were a spur of the moment purchase that didn’t disappoint. They are healthy and vibrant. They also look great in my tank.
Great packaging and careful thought into the shipping process. Well worth it!
