Frequently Asked Questions
Is this plant suitable for beginners?
Is this plant suitable for beginners?
Yes, it's rated easy to grow and is often recommended as a starting point for new planted aquariums.
Where should I place it in my tank?
Where should I place it in my tank?
It works well as a background plant, left there to grow upward and outward without crowding plants in front of it.
What format is it supplied in?
What format is it supplied in?
It's supplied in 1-2-Grow! format, which is the only option currently available.
Why are the leaves turning pale?
Why are the leaves turning pale?
Pale leaves usually signal a shortage of micronutrients, which means the aquarium needs additional fertiliser.
You get a low-maintenance stem plant that's well suited to a first planted aquarium, and its fast growth helps keep algae in check by taking up spare nutrients from the water as it establishes.
Hygrophila difformis is a stem plant known for growing quickly, and that pace is its main point of difference from slower background species. As it grows it absorbs large amounts of nutrients from the water, which helps keep algae from taking hold in a new aquarium.
It's an undemanding plant, making it a reasonable choice if you're setting up your first planted tank. Given time it settles in and contributes to a stable balance in the aquarium from the early stages.
You get a pack of three cups of Hygrophila difformis supplied in 1-2-Grow! format. Stems grow to 20-30 cm tall and 6-12 cm wide, and in a larger aquarium the lobed leaves cluster into a distinctive, bushy shape. Fertiliser is sold separately: if the leaves turn pale, that's usually a sign the water is short on micronutrients and the tank needs feeding.
