Yet another Hygro from your fishtank friends at Dustin's Fishtanks.
Suggested to us by our friend, Erick Sullivan up in New Hampshire, shoutout! We have also been known for our Hygrophilas. From the mega hardy "Alpha" Water Wisteria (Hygro Difformis, Up the to "Gangster Hygro Cordata Red" and down to the short and stunning Hygro Compact.
Well here comes another one. Hygrophila Pinnatifida. Yep and this one is another WOW Hygro.
What we have grown to love about Hygros is there ability to show you "love" with more orange and reds with the more light and fertilizers you give them.
Hygro Pinnatifida is no exception to this. Under lower light conditions it will stay more green, but under higher light it will give you RED.
This plant is not as easy to keep as other species of hygro. (Generally speaking the thinner and narrower varieties aren't as rugged as the thicker fatter ones.)
This plants is more of a Midground plant and will make a nice contrast to a grassy foreground section.
We are growing this plant in high light to convert it quickly. The tips of the stems haven't rooted yet, but they are close.... This is a sweet plant.
You'll get three stems in a bundle. DISCOUNTED BECAUSE THEY AREN'T FULLY CONVERTED YET.... but will be soon.
Customer Reviews
As A First Time Customer I Will Say I'm Very Happy !

5 out Of 5 Star's For Myself.
No issue from DFT, the plant arrived in good health, I’m just not sure I like it. So this review is simply an opinionated response. Time will tell and maybe once it grows out I have different feelings.
From the handful of plants I purchased, this was my least favorite, which isn’t saying much because I loved them all. The top portion of the plant was blackened so I just snipped it off before planting, no biggy. These were a bit more sparse than I had anticipated, but as the description states, they are literally stems. If you’re looking for this plant to look full in your tank quickly, I would suggest buying multiple bunches. I’m hoping they will grow in quickly and become bushier because this has the potential to be a beautiful plant. Regardless, overall very happy with my purchase!
I was happy to try a new plant and I look forward to seeing it grow..
I thought for a first time customer I would get a little more plant.
I probably will buy again when I see if the plant melts down and grows back?
Wanted to try something different and had some bare rocks in my tanks. This stuff didn’t disappoint. Sturdy plant and totally unique looking. Stands out for sure.
