Hygrophila corymbosa "Stricta" is
an unpretentious plant suitable for large aquaria. The colour of the leaves
varies from light-green to red-brown at high light intensities. Hygrophila
corymbosa "Stricta" is also suitable for open top aquaria where
it likes to pierce the water surface to set beautiful blue flowers. The
growth of Hygrophila corymbosa "Stricta" benefits from a
nutrient rich substrate in combination with CO
addition and high light, and under such conditions the plant soon attains a
beautiful stature. In a dense population the plant often looses the lower
leaves because of insufficient light but Hygrophila corymbosa
"Stricta" is, nevertheless, most decorative in groups.
