Overview:

Hygrophila lancea ‘Araguaia’ is a distinctive and increasingly popular aquarium plant, valued for its narrow, lance-shaped leaves that develop attractive reddish-brown to purple tones under optimal conditions. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is grown in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.

Unlike many Hygrophila species, ‘Araguaia’ grows more slowly and remains compact, making it ideal for midground placement in carefully designed aquascapes. Its unique colouration provides excellent contrast against green plants and lighter substrates.

Care and Growth:

This plant prefers medium to high lighting and benefits significantly from CO₂ injection, which helps maintain its compact form and intensify leaf colour. Stable water parameters and regular liquid fertilisation are important for consistent, healthy growth.

Propagation is achieved by trimming healthy stems and replanting the cuttings into the substrate. With proper care, new side shoots will develop, allowing for dense and attractive group plantings.
