Compact Hygrophila: Lush Greenery for Your Aquarium

A robust and beautiful stem plant, the Compact Hygrophila offers dense, vibrant foliage, perfect for adding texture and life to your freshwater tank.

Overview

The Compact Hygrophila (*Hygrophila polysperma* ‘Compact’) is an attractive, fast-growing stem plant featuring small, oval leaves that create a bushy, dense appearance. Its vibrant green foliage can develop charming reddish or bronze hues under optimal lighting conditions, adding a captivating dimension to your aquascape. This easy-to-care-for plant grows upwards, making it ideal for midground or background planting, bringing dynamic visual interest to your setup.

Care Level

This resilient plant is an excellent choice for aquarists of all experience levels, known for its adaptability and easy care. It thrives in diverse conditions and is compatible with most community fish and snails. Regular trimming is essential to prevent its vigorous growth from overshadowing other healthy aquarium plants and to maintain its desirable compact form.

Tank Essentials

Provide a minimum tank size of 30 litres to allow for robust growth. Compact Hygrophila flourishes best in a nutrient-rich substrate, though it adapts well to various setups. Maintain water temperatures between 22-28°C and a pH range of 6.0-7.5 for optimal health and vibrant coloration. Moderate to high lighting will encourage denser growth and richer hues.

Diet

For the most robust growth and vibrant coloration, supplement your Compact Hygrophila with a comprehensive liquid plant fertilizer. Root tabs can also be beneficial, providing essential nutrients directly to its root system. While not strictly required, CO2 supplementation can significantly enhance its growth rate and overall vibrancy.
