You get a fast-filling background plant that stays easy to manage even if you're new to planted tanks. Dense, light green foliage builds a full backdrop behind your other plants, and the hardy growth habit offers some tolerance while you find your routine. Stems grow 15 to 40 cm tall, so trimming and replanting the tops keeps the look neat as it fills in. It's available as a pack of five standard pots or a single, larger XL mother plant with more material in one pot.
Hygrophila corymbosa 'Stricta' is a stem plant originally from Thailand, grown here for its dense, light green leaf growth that fills the background of a planted aquarium quickly.
The plant's hardy growth habit helps new aquascapers establish a solid backdrop without demanding specialist care.
Individual stems reach between 15 and 40 cm in height and 10 to 15 cm across. Plant several together towards the back of the tank, where their height works in your favour rather than overshadowing shorter foreground plants.
Left alone, the plant grows fast and will reach for the surface. Pinch out the growing tips regularly if you want to keep it fully submerged, and once a stem reaches the surface, trim the top and replant it; cuttings root again and carry on growing.
It's available as a pack of five standard pots or as a single XL mother plant, a larger specimen supplied in a 9 cm square pot that gives you more plant material in one pot than a standard pot.
