Product details

Hygrophila Difformis

Hygrophila difformis, commonly known as “Water Wisteria,” is a popular and easy-to-grow aquatic plant known for its finely divided, bright green leaves that resemble ferns. Its feathery appearance adds a unique texture to any aquarium and creates an impression of lush foliage. The plant is fast-growing and can thrive under a wide range of conditions, making it suitable for beginners and low-tech setups.

Hygrophila difformis is a fantastic nutrient absorber, helping to control algae in aquariums by outcompeting it for nutrients. Its fast growth makes it ideal for newly set up tanks where it can quickly establish itself, providing biological balance.

Care Tips:

  • Maintain water temperature between 22-28°C with a pH level of 6.0-7.5.
  • It thrives in low to medium lighting, but medium light will promote faster growth and denser foliage.
  • CO2 supplementation is not necessary but will encourage even faster growth and more vibrant leaf structure.
  • Regular pruning is necessary to keep the plant from overshadowing other plants and to maintain its bushy appearance.

Ideal Placement in Aquarium: Hygrophila difformis is best used as a background or midground plant due to its fast growth and spread. Its soft, finely lobed leaves create a natural, flowing look that enhances the visual depth of aquascapes. The plant is also often used as a filler in community tanks, and its dense growth provides excellent cover for fish and invertebrates. Water Wisteria is a great option for hobbyists looking to quickly create a lush, green aquascape with minimal effort.
