Overview:

Hygrophila serpyllum is a visually striking aquarium plant known for its creeping growth habit and distinctive green to purple-brown leaves with contrasting light veins. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is cultivated in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.

Its low-growing, spreading form makes it an excellent choice for foreground or midground use, where it can be allowed to trail across the substrate or over hardscape. Hygrophila serpyllum adds rich colour contrast and a unique texture to modern aquascapes.

Care and Growth:

This plant prefers medium to high lighting and benefits greatly from CO₂ injection, which helps maintain a compact, creeping form and intensifies leaf colour. A nutrient-rich substrate and regular liquid fertilisation support healthy growth and vibrant appearance.

Propagation is simple: trim healthy stems and replant the cuttings into the substrate. With regular pruning, the plant will branch readily and form dense, attractive mats.
