Hygrophila Pinnatifida
NOTE: The photos labeled "1 STEM" is what the plant looks like when you order 1 stem. The photos labeled "POTTED" is what the plant looks like when you order a potted plant.
Yet another Hygro from your fishtank friends at Dustin's Fishtanks.
Suggested to us by our friend, Erick Sullivan up in New Hampshire, shoutout! We have also been known for our Hygrophilas. From the mega hardy "Alpha" Water Wisteria (Hygro Difformis, Up the to "Gangster Hygro Cordata Red" and down to the short and stunning Hygro Compact.
Well here comes another one. Hygrophila Pinnatifida. Yep and this one is another WOW Hygro.
What we have grown to love about Hygros is there ability to show you "love" with more orange and reds with the more light and fertilizers you give them.
Hygro Pinnatifida is no exception to this. Under lower light conditions it will stay more green, but under higher light it will give you RED.
This plant is not as easy to keep as other species of hygro. (Generally speaking the thinner and narrower varieties aren't as rugged as the thicker fatter ones.)
This plants is more of a Midground plant and will make a nice contrast to a grassy foreground section.
We are growing this plant in high light to convert it quickly. The tips of the stems haven't rooted yet, but they are close.... This is a sweet plant.
You'll get three stems in a bundle. DISCOUNTED BECAUSE THEY AREN'T FULLY CONVERTED YET.... but will be soon.

This plant is amazing I started with the one stem deal and this bomb of a plant exploded into a unique carpet type plant that even conquered the rock that it was planted next too
I’m giving 2 stars because 1 came in okay shape, the other had a black stem halfway up the plant. Looked like it was already dying. Planted in my tank, the one with a black stem basically disintegrated within 3 days. The black just continued up the plant. The other is still doing “okay” most of the leaves are browning and I’m hopeful it will regenerate. I have a heavily planted tank, with CO2 and high lighting. Aqua soil substrate. So I’m not a newbie to aquarium plants. I hate writing the review as I’ve ordered from Dustin’s a few times and have usually been pleased, not the case with these however.
Looks ok. Hope some roots grow soon and plant starts to pop
Got some hygrophila, the stems were pretty beefy! You can tell they came from emersed growth, a lot of Hygrophila pinnatifida comes in wimpy so I appreciated the relatively large stems.
Absolutely love this pant. Bought more for my 300 gal tank after ordering 2 to see how they did. Only been a week or so and already lots of roots and new growth!
