Description

Tropica 1-2-Grow! Hygrophila 'Araguaia'

Hygrophila ‘Araguaia’ is a unique stem plant named after the Araguaia River in Brazil. Unlike most Hygrophila species, it stays compact with narrow, reddish-brown leaves that form dense, bushy growth in the midground. This Tropica 1-2-Grow! tissue culture provides a clean, pest-free start for lush and colourful growth in your aquarium.

✓ Compact, colourful midground plant
Its subtle reddish hues and fine leaf structure add contrast and depth to aquascapes, especially in high-tech layouts.

  • Tissue Culture Grown: 100% pest-, algae-, and snail-free — ready for immediate planting.
  • Adaptable: Grows well in both submerged and emersed conditions.
  • Beautiful Contrast: Pairs perfectly with green and red stem plants or moss-covered hardscape.

Planting Tips

  • Divide the tissue culture cup into small clumps and plant them individually for faster spread.
  • Provide good water circulation and nutrient-rich substrate for optimal growth.
  • Under high light and CO₂, leaves develop a stronger red-brown tone with compact internodes.
  • Regular trimming encourages bushier, carpet-like growth in the midground.
Tip: Combine Hygrophila ‘Araguaia’ with green carpeting plants or red stems like Rotala and Ludwigia for a natural, layered aquascape.
