I am pretty sure I want to add sunset hygro to my tank. I live in NJ should this be a hard and expensive plant to find? I have only found it in one store at a high price. thanks

It's grows extremely fast and has been labeled as invasive and illegal to trade at all.

You can legally get it if it is from someone in NJ but t cannot cross state lines

Is this something I can expect an lfs to find? Is the plant worth the hunt?

It's not a very rare plant. If you were closer I'd give some to you. It is a good plant to have though. Grows pretty easily and the red can get intense on the upper leaves with enough light. Just look around the LFS in the area.

If i request it should a lfs be able to bring it in? I keep on stopping at my lfs and I keep on missing the guy that orders the plants.

I don't think your LFS's get it from an in-state source which means they import it.. Over state lines... Illegal...

Ironically, it grows so prettily and quickly that you'll probably get rid of it (eventually) because it starts to take over your tank.

It'll grow steadily until it gets close to the lighting, and then - BOOM - your tank has become a hygro colony.

Well if you ever come into NYC, they have it at Win aquarum in chinatown. Boatloads of it too!

great. I look forward to replacing some of my wisteria with it. Need to add some color to my tank.
