Description

 Hygrophila difformis, also known as Water Wisteria

  • Lighting
    Provide medium to high lighting for optimal growth and leaf coloration. Place the plant directly under the light so other plants don’t shade it. 
  • Nutrients
    Use a nutrient-rich soil substrate or liquid fertilizer to promote healthy growth. You can also add a mineral supplement if your water is soft. 
  • Pruning
    Regularly trim the plant with sharp scissors to maintain its shape and prevent it from overshadowing other plants. You can replant the cuttings to propagate new plants. 
  • Water parameters
    Keep the aquarium pH and general hardness (GH) stable. An aquarium pH of 6-8 is recommended. Avoid drastic changes in water parameters, as it can lead to leaf shedding. 
  • Planting
    Plant the stems in areas where they have access to plentiful lighting. If you plant the wisteria in the substrate, try not to move it around. 
  • Floating
    If you are having trouble getting your wisteria to convert, try floating some stems where they can collect more light and CO2 at the water surface. 
  • Aquarium inhabitants
    Water Wisteria is compatible with various aquarium inhabitants. It provides cover for fish and fry.
