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

This was the first time I have ordered from Dustin, it will not be the last... The plants came well packed with a little cold pack, all were wrapped with care. They are all beautiful and each one had roots. Makes my tank look so nice.
Thank you...
Just put it in my tank and curious to see the results. So far pleased with price and service, when I see results I hope to put in more orders. So far very pleased
So im very new to the water plant thing. I bought these cause it looked amazing in the video and it says its hardy and thats what I need for my tank due to my hard water and low light. I gave it a 4 cause im not sure if they are going to make it they had no root system and they where pretty brownish I ordered on Monday and got them today Wednesday so only 2 day shipping im hoping that they will still grow like the video shows but its to soon to tell but fingers crossed ill update when I can here is a pic of what I received again I gave a 4 just cause they weren't as vibrant long and rooted like they show but might still have potential
Great will order again
Beautiful, healthy plants, quick delivery, highly recommend!
