Hygrophila Sunset - 10 Stems

Hygrophila polysperma ‘Sunset’

Hygrophila polysperma ‘Sunset’, commonly called Hygrophila Sunset, is a beautiful and colorful stem plant known for its distinctive pink to reddish veins that appear across its green leaves. Under proper lighting, the plant develops stronger coloration, creating a vibrant contrast that stands out in planted aquariums.

This plant is fast-growing and very adaptable, making it a great option for both beginner and experienced aquascapers. It grows upright and is typically used as a midground to background plant, where its colorful foliage can brighten up aquascapes and add visual interest.

Care Tips

• Lighting: Medium to High (enhances pink and reddish leaf patterns)

• CO₂: Not required but recommended for fuller growth and better coloration

• Placement: Midground to Background

• Growth Rate: Fast

• Propagation: Trim the stems and replant the cuttings to grow new plants

Aquascaping Notes

Hygrophila Sunset works well in nature-style and Dutch-style aquascapes, where its colorful leaves provide contrast among green plants. With regular trimming, it can form dense and attractive bushes that add texture and color to planted layouts.

Please note that plant size, number of stems, and coloration may vary slightly as these are natural aquatic plants.
