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
Great packaging and careful thought into the shipping process. Well worth it!
I can’t even count how many orders I’ve placed with Dustin Fish Tanks, but every single one has exceeded my expectations. The plants always arrive healthy, the packaging is excellent, and communication throughout the shipping process is outstanding. I highly recommend Dustin Fish Tanks to anyone looking for high-quality aquarium plants.
Came fast in very hot weather but was very healthy and green. Figured out letting my plants float for a couple days then planting them I don’t have any melt back. Only place in the world to buy plants.
I received literally so many stems that I had to split it between 3 tanks. Stems are sturdy and the very leafy. This plant looks and feels strong and my zipper loaches are enjoying using them as hammocks. Shipping was quick and as usual very well packed they also added a gift according to AI is a tiger lotus.
Arrived VERY quick, very healthy, no slugs, you can tell they put some thought and effort into packaging, over all the plants are doing great, the fish love playing in it and I will DEFINITELY be ordering again. If only water lillies were an option.
