Hygrophila balsamica is a striking stem plant known for its lush green foliage and rapid growth, making it an excellent choice for aquascaping and planted aquarium setups. Native to Southeast Asia, this species thrives in nutrient-rich substrates and responds well to regular trimming, promoting bushier growth.

With its slightly aromatic leaves and unique appearance, Hygrophila balsamica adds depth and contrast to midground or background areas of the tank. However, it’s important to note that this plant may release allelopathic substances in emersed form, which can be harmful to aquatic life—so it’s best used only in its submerged state.

Key Features:

  • Fast-growing and easy to propagate

  • Ideal for midground or background placement

  • Requires moderate to high light and CO₂ for optimal growth

  • Should be used only in submerged conditions due to potential toxicity in emersed form

Enhance your aquascape with the vibrant beauty and dynamic growth of Hygrophila balsamica.
