Hygrophila Araguaia - 10 Stems

Hygrophila sp. ‘Araguaia’

Hygrophila sp. ‘Araguaia’ is a unique and attractive stem plant known for its slender leaves and warm reddish to brown coloration under proper lighting. Unlike many Hygrophila species that grow tall, this variety tends to stay more compact and bushy, making it a great option for the midground area of planted aquariums.

With good lighting and nutrients, Hygrophila ‘Araguaia’ develops deeper red tones and tighter growth, creating a striking contrast among green plants. Regular trimming encourages dense clusters, allowing aquascapers to shape it into small bushes that enhance the overall texture of the aquascape.

Care Tips

• Lighting: Medium to High (enhances red coloration)

• CO₂: Recommended for compact growth and better color

• Placement: Foreground to Midground

• Growth Rate: Moderate

• Propagation: Trim the stems and replant the cuttings

Aquascaping Notes

Hygrophila ‘Araguaia’ is often used as a color accent plant in nature-style and Dutch-style aquascapes. Its narrow leaves and warm tones pair well with carpeting plants, mosses, and other green stem plants to create contrast and depth in planted tanks.

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