It’s known for its fast growth and ability to absorb excess waste and nutrients from aquarium water, making it a beneficial addition to many aquarium setups. Here are some key care tips for this plant:

  • Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is recommended.
  • Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 68 – 82°F (20 – 28°C).
  • pH: Optimal pH range is 6.6 – 8.0.
  • Growth Rate: It has a fast growth rate and can quickly take over a tank if not trimmed regularly.
  • CO2: Not necessary, but CO2 injection can enhance growth.
  • Substrate: Can grow in a wide range of substrates; nutrient-rich substrates are beneficial but not essential.
  • Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings and lateral shoots.

It’s also interesting to note that Hygrophila angustifolia has been observed to possess antimicrobial properties.
