This is a background plant. Aquatic plants not only add beauty but also improve the water quality and add color to your aquarium. These plants absorb carbon dioxide and nitrates, and provide shelter and security for fish. Hygrophila difformis has very lacy leaves whose appearance is affected by water conditions. The leaves tend to grow small in cooler water while growing larger in warmer water. Propagation occurs by cutting from the bottom inch or two of the stem. The plant will also change in appearance as it matures.
