Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosnervig'

Product description

About the species

Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig' is normally an undemanding plant. It can suddenly develop shoots that are completely green. Remove these to keep the distinctive pink, marbled leaves. If you want deep pink leaves, you need to provide intense light. The stems are 20-40 cm high and 5-8 cm wide.

The distinctive color of the pale leaf ribs is probably caused by a virus that prevents chlorophyll from forming in the cells around the leaf ribs, turning them white. However, this virus does not affect other plants in the aquarium.
