Care Tips: Hygrophila corymbosa is a hardy, fast-growing plant that thrives in aquariums with medium to high lighting. It has broad, lance-shaped leaves and can grow quite large, making it ideal for the midground or background of aquascapes. It grows rapidly, so regular trimming is necessary to maintain a compact and bushy form. This plant is relatively low-maintenance and adapts well to a variety of water conditions. COâ‚‚ injection is beneficial but not required; it will help enhance its growth and color. Fertilization with iron-rich nutrients will promote the best results and vibrant green leaves. Hygrophila corymbosa is a great choice for beginner aquascapers, as it can thrive in both high-tech and low-tech setups. It also helps in controlling algae growth by outcompeting it with its fast growth rate.
