Water Wisteria
Hуgrорhіlа dіffоrmіѕ is an ideal aquarium plant for aquarists of all skill levels. It’s easy to cultivate and maintain, and it’s gorgeous to behold. Also known as “water wisteria”, this plant is perfect for new aquariums, as it helps to keep the tank balanced. Water wisteria grows fast and absorbs nutrients from the water, helping to keep algae at bay.
Hуgrорhіlа pinnatifida is a relatively new aquatic plant that originates from India. It can be recognized by its patchy, brown leaves on the surface, as well as its rich burgundy hue on the underside. The leaves of emersed aquatic plants grow shorter and wider than those that are underwater, and they tend to have more of a medium green color.
