The original Hygrophila corymbosa. An undemanding plant for large aquariums, which thrives in almost any conditions. If it is not pruned it easily grows above the water surface, where it forms dark-green leaves and beautiful blue flowers. This makes it particularly suitable for open aquariums. It is most beautiful in groups, but the shoots must not be planted too close, because this will prevent light reaching the lower leaves. [TROPICA]

i am not sure why this plant is labeled as having a hight light requirement. Mine grows very well under W on a 20 gallon no C02 and no fertz. I can t grow duckweed but this plant is doing fine with great roots and lime coloured leaves.

The leaves of this plant can take on a variety of shades. Mine range from the green pictured to orangey-pink to dark purple on the lower leaves. Easy to grow, too.
