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
The plants appear to be packaged. Well, they arrived looked very healthy with a root system. So far, 3 days in They are doing good.
Excellent experience from start to finish. The plants were packaged carefully and arrived in perfect condition - healthy, vibrant, and ready to go into the tank. After planting them, everything has been thriving and settling in beautifully. It's clear this company takes pride in the quality of their plants and how they ship them. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for healthy aquarium plants and reliable service.
So nice to order Anything and be so pleasantly surprised ! I live in Upstate NY and waiting thru the coldest part of winter before I ordered, and of course another cold spell happened - but the plats were packed so well - they had a little warmer tucked in and wrapped nicely - put them in my tank and have had very little melting - just a bit of yellowing really. The plants were very healthy and the amount received was generous ! Here’s a pic of them a few days after I put them in my tank. My privately owned LFS orders from Dustin’s and marks the plats up of course - so why not order direct ? I’m a groupie of Dustin’s now !
We received three good sized plants. In excellent shape. They have relaxed and opened up. Look great.
These were the largest, healthiest, greenest plants I have ever recieved from an aquatic plant online shop! I absolutely reccomend!
