Hygrophila Polysperma
Hygrophila Polysperma is a fast-growing and highly adaptable aquatic plant, perfect for aquarists of all experience levels. Known for its vibrant green leaves and hardy nature, this versatile plant can be grown in both submersed (fully underwater) and emersed (partially submerged) conditions, making it ideal for aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums.
When grown submersed, Hygrophila Polysperma develops slender stems with lush green leaves that provide excellent coverage and a natural look to aquascapes. In emersed conditions, its leaves grow slightly thicker, and the plant can thrive in higher humidity environments.
