🌿 Willow-Leaf Hygrophila (Hygrophila salicifolia 'Rubra')
Long, Narrow Willow-Like Leaves • Red-to-Bronze Tones • A Fast, Flowing Background Plant
 
📋 Willow-Leaf Hygrophila is a fast-growing stem plant with long, narrow leaves shaped just like willow leaves. Under good light they take on warm red-to-bronze tones, and the slender stems sway gently with the current, bringing natural movement and depth to the background. It's a beautiful choice for nature layouts, jungle-style aquascapes and planted community tanks.
It's hardy, adaptable and quick to fill out. It thrives in a wide range of conditions, and regular trimming keeps it lush and full. Give it good light and steady nutrients, with CO2 if you have it, and its red-bronze colour deepens beautifully.
It's a freshwater plant, suited to freshwater aquariums.
