Hygrophila ‘Araguaia’ is a medium category plant available in Tropica’s 1-2-Grow range where it is produced in-house in Tropica’s Danish laboratory. It stays relatively short when compared with most other Hygrophila species with compact needle shape leaves that can range in colour from reddish brown through to purple depending on the lighting and nutrient conditions. The stems branch easily and over time with appropriate trimming can form am attractive compact bushy appearance. It’s growth rate is similar to most other Hygrophila species but due to its low position in the aquarium the light levels are usually lower and growth therefore slower. Because it is a medium category plant it usually requires CO2 injection and moderate to strong lighting to thrive. A nutrient-rich substrate and regular liquid fertilisers will also promote healthier growth.
