| From Tropica: |
Hygrophila polysperma is one of the hardiest aquarium
plants available. It is particularly good for beginners because
it grows in almost all conditions. It normally grows so fast that
it is important to prevent it crowding out other plants. The shoots
must be pinched out regularly. Leaves lying on the surface form
small new plants. Hygrophila polysperma varies considerably in
leaf shape and colour, depending to some extent on the light supplied. |
