Meet Hygrophila siamensis XL - a lovely Motherplant! It's grown in a small 9cm square pot and is perfect for adding a little green to your aquarium. This plant, known as 'Siamensis', is originally from Thailand and has stems that can reach anywhere from 15-40 cm in length and 10-15 cm wide. The leaves are a light green color and are quite dense.
When adding this plant to your aquarium, we recommend planting several stems in a group at the background of the tank. As the plant grows, you'll want to cut off the top shoots when they reach the water surface and replant them. This will help the plant continue to grow and form new roots. In open aquariums, the 'Siamensis' variety of Hygrophila corymbosa is known to grow easily above the water surface, where it forms blue-green leaves and small blue flowers.
One thing to keep in mind is that this plant grows quite quickly, so you'll want to pinch out the shoots regularly if you want to keep it submerged underwater. It's also a very hardy plant, making it a great option for beginners.
