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 thrilled to get such healthy plants!
They got planted after abut 4 days of floating around!
Don’t even waste your money at petco or petsmart buying their plants! For me, they’ve all died in a couple weeks.
Dustin’s has tons of info on YT how to have success with plants!
My plants look really healthy right now! But I’ll watch them closely for the next couple weeks. My only issue is that I need to add more gravel to hold down roots
When the plants got here they were packaged with the ice pack. The only problem was that in the Texas heat, the ice pack had been in a hot UPS Truck all day at over 100⁰. So needless to say the plants and ice pack were as hot as the inside of the truck. I quickly got the plants in the tank and they seem to be doing ok. I was afraid we may have lost them, but so far so good.
The plants were a good size, I was only concerned because when I received them the packaging was very hot inside the uline cold pack was very warm and the plants were very warm as well, so I’m really hoping they make it. I got them in cool water quickly and then shortly after in the large tank. I’m praying the large one gets some color back.
Plants arrived nicely packed with long roots. I highly recommend this company and would order again
So far so good......my shrimp love it!!!!! Super quick shipping is a major positive. I will use Dustin's again for my plants.
