Hygrophila Difformis - submerged or emersed
1 bunch - 5 stems (10-20cm)
Hygrophila Difformis is a very popular, easy aquarium stem plant. Stems becomes 15-30+ cm tall. With frequent trimming will stay low and compact. It grows well under medium lighting however stronger lighting, CO2 injection and good nutrient supply will promote stronger and healthier growth. Under low lighting, especially lower leaves, might turn yellow. Wisteria absorbs a great number of nutrients from the water. The shortage of nutrients leads to pale leaves. The plant can be cultivated in submerged or emersed form. Its emersed leaves look like strawberry or nettle leaves. They are featuring a roughly 4 cm oval shape, grooved veins, and slightly jagged edges. Submerged leaves are thinner, narrower, feathery and more delicate in appearance. Once planted in the tank plant will go through transition period changing shape of the leaves.

The picture is only illustrative, and the real plant may vary in colour and size, especially in the winter, because the plants grow more slowly, although we try to provide the largest sometimes it is independent of us. The colour depends on the fertilizers in which they are served. Plants will take their natural look in the aquarium. You will receive plants looking similar like on the photo (without pot, cup).
The size of the plant shows how big it can grow in the aquarium. That gives information to the buyers where to position plant in the aquarium. Plants which you will receives come from greenhouses or laboratory(in vitro) and some of them might be smaller or bigger than the final sizes shown on the listing. Don't be surprised that sometimes plants might not have roots or roots will be minimal. After planting in the aquarium, the plant will grow new roots within a few days.
