Hygrophila lancea 'Araguaia' – A Compact, Red-Stemmed Plant for Dynamic Aquascapes

Hygrophila lancea 'Araguaia' is a stunning, compact stem plant known for its narrow, pointed leaves and deep red to brownish-purple hues. Hygrophila lancea 'Araguaia'  has a low, bushy growth pattern, making it an excellent choice for midground placement or even foreground accents in aquascapes. Its bold coloration and fine-leaved texture provide a beautiful contrast against bright green plants, hardscape, and carpeting species.

Optimal Growth & Care Requirements

Hygrophila 'Araguaia' thrives under moderate to high lighting, with CO₂ injection and nutrient-rich conditions enhancing its vibrant red and purple tones. In lower light setups, the plant may remain greener and grow more vertically, but with strong light and proper trimming, it develops a dense, bushy structure ideal for aquascaping.

This plant responds well to frequent trimming, as it branches out from cut points, creating a lush, compact appearance.
