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
Plants arrived quickly ( from ca to al ) more than promised in each batch .. my second shipment .. guess I need a third tank so I can order more!! I added more sand ( only substrate ) so a bit cloudy and root tabs !
Hygros came in well packaged and healthy. Stems were strong, floated for a day them planted with zero melt!
Nicely developed with a root system that says ‘let’s go baby”. I expect great things for this plant.
No complaints on the quality of the plants. I was impressed with their size compared to other aquatic plants I have answer. Planted and I hope they do well. Shipping price was a little high, but I imagine that is out of your control
Plants are awesome from here 2nd time ive ordered
