Care Tips: Hygrophila difformis, commonly known as Water Wisteria, is a fast-growing and adaptable aquatic plant. It thrives in medium to high lighting and a nutrient-rich substrate. This plant is highly versatile, making it suitable for both low-tech and high-tech aquariums. It grows rapidly and will require regular trimming to maintain its shape and prevent it from becoming too large or overgrown. CO₂ injection is not mandatory but can improve its growth and enhance its vibrant green color. Hygrophila difformis can be planted in the midground or background, where its bushy growth and delicate, fern-like leaves add texture and contrast. Regular fertilization, especially with micronutrients and iron, will help maintain its health and appearance. It also does well in a variety of water conditions but will perform best with stable parameters and consistent care.
