Description

'Chai' is a striking variegated cultivar of Hygrophila lancea "Araguaia" that occurred at South Island Aquarium in Singapore. It is still rarely available in Europe. Its narrowly linear, curved leaves have a green zone in the middle while the edge is white to pink. Its colour tones resemble Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Flamingo' and 'Pink Panther'. As well as normal "Araguaia", submerged Hygrophila lancea 'Chai' has a rather spreading and ramified growth habit.

We recommend rather strong lighting, CO2 addition and good macro- and micronutrient supply. Hygrophila lancea 'Chai' grows slowly, and occasional trimming of the shoot tips maintains its low, bushy growth. As well as other stem plants, it can be propagated by cuttings.

Hygrophila lancea 'Chai' provides a unique light pink colour accent in the midground to foreground, best as a smaller bushy group. It contrasts strongly with dark plants and decoration materials. This variegated Hygrophila is also interesting for emersed setups such as paludariums and Wabi-Kusa.

Questions and answers about Hygrophila lancea 'Chai'

You have questions about this product? Ask other customer or our support team about this product!

Can Hygrophila sp. "Chai" only be kept successfully if a CO2 system is available? Light intensity and nutrient supply are high.

For Hygrophila lancea "Chai" to establish itself, it needs CO2 in addition to very good nutrient supply and fairly strong lighting. Keeping this plant without CO2 is not advisable. We also recommend not planting it in a freshly set-up aquarium or in new soil.

Can the lancea chai attach itself to hardscape like the pinnatifida, or not?

Hygrophila lancea 'Chai' does not attach itself to hardscape but is planted in the substrate.

Sehr schöner Farbtupfer

Die Pflanze sieht toll aus, Farbe, Qualität, Menge, alles bestens. Ich habe einen Teil in den Bodengrund( weniger Licht)gepflanzt, den anderen Teil oben auf eine Wurzel( direkt unter der Lampe) gesetzt. Die Pflanze im Bodengrund scheint nach einer Woche schon etwas gewachsen zu sein, auf der Wurzel ist bisher kein Wachstum erfolgt.

Absolut irre!

Ich empfehle vor der Arbeit mit dieser Pflanze eine Sonnenbrille aufzusetzen.

Ich kannte sie seither nur von Bildern im Netz und dachte mir halt: "Klar, unter Chihiros!" Weit gefehlt, auch unter normalem 7500k Licht fräst sich die Farbe ins Auge. Wo die Cryptocoryne 'Flamingo' weißrosa daher kommt, blitzt die lancea 'Chai' schon fast brutal in echtem megapink. Bin gespannt, ob sie sich wuchstechnisch mit ihrem braunen Bruder messen kann.
