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
All plants arrived and look healthy!
I am so happy I ordered from Dustin's Fishtanks. The Hygrophila Salicifolia looks so beautiful in my tank.
I received a very nice sized portion of this plant and the roots on these stems were growing like crazy.
The plants look nice. I'll have to see how it goes. The plants from my last order of the 4 that you selected never got started after I planted them. The little red one died in about a week. Hope these plants do better.
I got these in my first ever order from Dustin's fish tanks out of all the stems I've put in my tank, these were by far the easiest to plant. They arrived super healthy in wonderful condition and have continued to thrive since putting them in my tank several weeks ago I am back on the site today to order more plants as if I can squeeze any more into my tanks. LOL.
Please excuse the bloated fish in my picture.I tried to get the closest up of these stems that I have in my camera roll
Fast shipping. Plants look great!!
