Frequently Asked Questions
Why are some of my leaves turning plain green instead of staying pink and marbled?
Why are some of my leaves turning plain green instead of staying pink and marbled?
According to the plant's growing notes, Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig' can occasionally produce shoots that revert to plain green. Trimming these out keeps the rest of the plant's distinctive pink marbling visible.
Do I need strong lighting to get the deep pink colour?
Do I need strong lighting to get the deep pink colour?
The growing notes state that intensive lighting is needed for deep pink leaf colouring, so the intensity of your lighting will affect how vivid the colour appears.
What causes the pale leaf ribs, and could it spread to my other plants?
What causes the pale leaf ribs, and could it spread to my other plants?
The growing notes describe this as probably caused by a virus that stops chlorophyll forming in cells around the leaf ribs, turning them white. The same notes state that this virus does not affect other plants in the aquarium.

It is supplied potted, ready to separate into stems for planting into substrate or attaching to hardscape.
A background stem plant for planted aquariums, grown for its pink, marbled foliage rather than the plain green leaves of the standard species. It gives colour contrast at the back of the tank and stays manageable for hobbyists who don't want a fussy specimen, with brighter lighting rewarding you with stronger pink colouring. Supplied as a pack of five pots, ready to divide and plant into substrate.
Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig' is a cultivar of the common green Hygrophila polysperma, kept for its pink, marbled leaf colouring rather than the plain green foliage of the standard form. It suits background planting in planted aquariums and gives the back of the tank height plus colour contrast against plainer foreground species.
Grown well, it adds a colourful vertical layer without a lot of fuss: the main ongoing task is keeping that pink colouring consistent as the plant grows. What you get is a pack of five pots of Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig', ready to separate into individual stems and plant into substrate or attach to hardscape.
What sets this plant apart from a plain green Hygrophila polysperma is its pale, marbled leaf-rib pattern. The plant's growing notes describe this pale ribbing as probably caused by a virus that prevents chlorophyll forming in the cells around the leaf ribs, turning them white, and the same notes add that the virus does not affect other plants sharing the aquarium. Those notes also state that deep pink colouring depends on intensive lighting, and that occasional shoots reverting to plain green should be trimmed out to keep the marbled look.
