Care Tips: Hemigraphis sp. Big Leaf is an attractive plant known for its large, vibrant leaves that have a unique purple-green coloration. It thrives in medium to high lighting, which helps intensify its colors. The plant prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and benefits from regular fertilization, particularly with micronutrients and iron. Regular CO₂ injection can enhance growth and improve leaf coloration, although it can also do well in a low-tech setup. This plant grows at a medium rate and can be used in the foreground or midground of an aquascape, where its large, striking leaves create a focal point. Hemigraphis sp. Big Leaf does best with stable water parameters, and trimming is necessary to maintain its shape and prevent it from becoming too leggy. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant, making it suitable for beginners as well as experienced aquascapers looking for a unique addition to their aquarium.
