Care & Maintenance for Hygrophila Blue

Hygrophila Blue is an ideal plant for the edges, corners, and back areas of the aquarium. It does not require CO2 supplementation, but it will benefit from it, growing bigger and faster. Good lighting, iron fertilization, and rich substrate will ensure the plant will thrive in the aquarium. The plant looks best when planted in well-spaced groups.  

Hygrophila Blue is also available bareroot. We offer other varieties of Hygrophila species, including Hygro Araguaia, Hygrophila Pinnatifida, Wisteria (Hygrophila Difformis), and Hygrophila Willow.
