Hygrophila costata is a clean, mid-sized stem plant with oval, mid-green leaves carried in an opposite-pair arrangement along sturdy, upright stems. Less commonly seen than corymbo sa but equally easy to keep, it offers a traditional Hygrophila appearance in a slightly more compact form that suits midground planting across a wide range of aquarium sizes.It grows well under medium light without CO2 injection and tolerates a wide range of water conditions. Like all Hygrophila it is a fast grower once established, responding well to regular trimming and producing dense, bushy regrowth. Cuttings root readily in the substrate and can be replanted to fill out a planting group.Supplied as an established potted plant, Hygrophila costata suits aquariums from 50 litres upward. Its compact habit and clean green leaf form make it a versatile midground plant that integrates naturally into both simple beginner layouts and more structured planted aquariums. Show more
