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
My fish in cycle is going extremely well. 12 plants including this one, which is super healthy and already growing! Zero ammonia nitrite and nitrate
I couldn’t be more pleased excellent shipping packaging and the plants arrived beautiful green and I put them right into my tank and they look fantastic. I’m sorry I should’ve taken a picture. Highly recommend the seller and I’ll be back as a repeat customer many times.
Amazingly sized stems with lots of roots/leaves attached. Transitioned pretty quickly with hardly any melt. Would buy again if I had space.
So far these are doing great in my crowded African Cichlid tanks.
I have ordered plants from several places. Also got them from local pet stores. The plants I received from dustins, hands down best looking, healthiest, best shipped plants I have ever gotten! I cannot wait to see them grow! Thank you for the awesome quality you provide!
