Description
A cultivar of Hygrophila corymbosa with an extremely compact growth habit. Also known as H. corymbosa 'Mini' and Nomaphila siamensis 'Parvifolia'. This plant is easily maintained in a height of 6 to 10 cm and has very short internodes. If it gets taller, it should be trimmed. The cuttings can be used for propagation. The small bushes of the Compact Hygrophila are suitable for the foreground as well as for nano tanks. This plant has only a medium lighting demand, therefore it grows also in high tanks. It is quite undemanding, but a little susceptible to iron deficiency.
Hygrophila corymbosa "compact" was probably created and selected from H. corymbosa plants in cultivation in a nursery. This plant has very short internodes and forms a great number of lateral shoots. Its shoots are short, almost stunted, and very bushy.

Tadellose Pflanze, Top Lieferung, werde noch weitere bestellen, vielen Dank...
In my eyes the plant is very easy. It adapted quickly to its new environment after planting. In my impression it seems to like sandy substrate a lot. (read more)

Sehr gute Qualität.
Die Pflanze ist in meinen Augen sehr einfach. Sie passte sich nach dem Einsetzen schnell an die neue Umgebung an. Dabei scheint sie nach meinem Eindruck Sandboden sehr zu mögen. Das, oder sie liebt die Masterline Düngekapseln, die ich im Sand verwende.
Ich habe sie bei relativ starkem Licht und im abgedunkelten Aquarium eingesetzt (immer mit CO2-Düngung) und konnte keine Probleme feststellen. Gerade für Nano-Aquarien stellt sie eine tolle Solitärpflanze dar, mit der man einen schönen Blickfang kreieren kann.
