These have been underwater in a big deep basin for 2.5-3 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)eck out our HARDY Hygrophila Cordata RED,
Or Hygrophila Cherry Leaf, or Hygrophila Compact

Customer Reviews
Once again these guys knock it out of the park. The roots in these plants are insane and they are so healthy. I love water wisteria in my tank so I’m glad to get a nice thick bundle.
I think my favorite part about these plants is they are free of algae unlike most LFS, so they go into the tank and just look immaculate. We are always planning another tank, so next order will be soon I’m sure.
This water wisteria I ordered arrived quickly and in amazing condition! Came with paper instructions on the best way to incorporate it into my tank too, which was really nice. It’s looking wonderful and healthy in my tank and my fish love it! I’ll be buying more plants very soon.
Arrived fast and in great condition! Will be buying more!
My plants came well hydrated. Looking green and fresh. Not to mention I got extra stems as well! Very satisfied and would order again
Plant arrived packaged perfectly. It was fresh and after a quick rinse ready for the tank.
