A variety of Hygrophila corymbosa “Siamensis”, but more bushy with narrower leaves. The difference is less noticeable in older plants.

The leaves of emergent grown Hygrophila corymbosa "Siamensis" are blue-green, but grown submerged they turn into beautifully light-green with very short internodes. In case of iron deficiency, however, the new leaves will be very pale. This plant requires quite high light intensities but apart from this it does not need any special water composition.

If this plant grows too tall the top can be cut and replanted into the substrate. The mother plant will develop new adventitious shoot and become more bushy. The plant likes to set shoots above water level and this can happen in open aquariums where the leaves again turn blue-green and beautiful flowers often develop.
