Hygrophila corymbosa ‘Siamensis 53B’
Hygrophila corymbosa ‘Siamensis 53B’ is a popular cultivar known for its tall, narrow leaves and elegant, bushy growth. It stands out with its light green to yellowish leaves, creating a striking contrast in aquascapes. This plant is perfect for aquarists seeking a unique vertical accent in the midground to background of their tanks.
Native to Southeast Asia, Hygrophila corymbosa ‘Siamensis 53B’ thrives in moderate to high lighting and benefits from CO₂ supplementation, which promotes bushier growth and vibrant coloration. Its growth rate is moderate to fast, making it a great choice for aquascapers looking for rapid coverage or a tall, bushy effect in their tank.
Regular pruning is recommended to maintain its shape and prevent it from overtaking the tank. It is adaptable to a range of water conditions, but a nutrient-rich substrate will help it grow at its best.
