The original Hygrophila corymbosa. An undemanding plant for large
aquariums, which thrives in almost any conditions. If it is not pruned it easily
grows above the water surface, where it forms dark-green leaves and beautiful
blue flowers. This makes it particularly suitable for open aquariums. It is most
beautiful in groups, but the shoots must not be planted too close, because this
will prevent light reaching the lower leaves.
