READ ME: Our aquarium plants vary in growth forms and will require time to transition to submerged or emersed conditions. We do our best to clean and inspect all plants prior to shipping but do not guarantee them to be snail free unless tissue culture is purchased.

Tissue culture plants are cultivated in sterile lab settings ensuring your plant is free from pests, snails and algae! These are young specimen that are grown in emersed forms. Gel should always be removed prior to planting.

Live plants are susceptible to stress and damage from transit. - This may appear in the form of minimal melt, leaf loss, cosmetic damage, etc. Refunds or replacements will not be issued for plants with viable root systems or that die out of our care.

Hygrophila Compact is a lovely midground aquatic plant choice! Showcasing very compact, low growth, Hygrophila Compact is derived from the original species Hygrophila Corymbosa with leaves that sit close to its stem. Foliage is large and bold with varying coloration depending on the aquarium tank it is grown and kept in. Color tones can vary from bold brownish reds and pinks to shades of green. As mentioned, Hygrophila Compact makes a wonderful choice as a midground aquatic plant choice due to its interesting growth habits. This aquarium plant will readily form dense, compact bushes and will fill out sparse areas in a planted aquarium tank with ease. This aquarium plant requires medium levels of quality aquarium LED lighting and the addition of CO2 injection aids in promoting quicker more robust growth.

Weak lighting can result in Hygrophila Compact growing upwards towards the light. This can be combated by providing higher light settings and ensuring it is trimmed to encourage low-growing habits. Hygrophila Compact is quite undemanding but can be susceptible to nutrient deficiencies.
