Description

Hygrophila sp. Chai is a rare and highly sought-after stem plant known for its stunning submerged form. This premium specimen displays narrow, elongated leaves with rich green coloration and subtle bronze undertones that intensify under high lighting, creating a striking vertical accent in planted aquariums.

The submerged form of Hygrophila sp. Chai develops a more compact, refined appearance compared to its emersed counterpart, with tighter internodal spacing and enhanced coloration. Its graceful upright growth makes it ideal for creating depth and structure in midground to background placements.

Size: 5-6 stems, 15-20cm height (approximate)
Growth rate: Moderate to fast
Placement: Midground to background
Lighting: Medium to high
CO2: Recommended for best coloration
Difficulty: Moderate

Care Information

Water Parameters:

Temperature: 22-28°C
pH: 6.0-7.5
Hardness: Soft to moderately hard

Planting Guide:

Plant individual stems 2-3cm apart in nutrient-rich substrate. Remove lower leaves from the bottom 3-4cm of stem before planting to prevent rot. Trim and replant tops regularly to maintain compact growth and prevent legginess.

Maintenance:

Regular trimming encourages bushier growth and prevents the plant from reaching the surface. Responds well to nutrient-rich substrate and liquid fertilization. Provide adequate CO2 and lighting to achieve the best bronze coloration. Prune weekly to maintain desired height and density.
