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.

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.
The shipment packaging was quite damaged upon arrival, which was a bit concerning. However, aside from one moss that didn’t make it, all the other plants were in excellent c... (read more)
I recommend putting on sunglasses before working with this plant. Until now I only knew it from pictures online and just thought: "Of course, under Chihiros! (read more)

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.
