Hygrophila Difformis

Hygrophila Difformis, commonly known as Water Wisteria or Water Sprite, is a fast-growing stem plant with bright green foliage. Beginner hobbyists flock to this aquarium plant for its easy care, undemanding nature, and quick growth. We also recommend this aquarium plant for beginners who are looking to transition to keeping live aquarium plants for the first time and are looking for an easy-going choice that will fill their aquarium tank readily. Hygrophila Difformis, aka Water Wisteria, does not require too much care and can adapt to a wide range of aquarium tank parameters. Water Wisteria also does well to help absorb excess nutrients in the water column, helping to outcompete algae and preventing its growth.

As Hygrophila Difformis grows very quickly, it has the potential to grow unruly if not maintained and pruned regularly. We recommend this aquarium plant for the midground and background aquatic plant choices in a planted tank. Propagation is simple and trimmed stems can be replanted into quality aquarium soil.
