Robust Aquarium Plant
Hygrophila Corymbosa – Siamensis stands out as a robust and easily accessible aquarium plant, making it an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. As a member of the diverse Hygrophila Corymbosa species found across Southeast Asia, Siamensis offers versatility and adaptability to various tank conditions.
Versatile Tank Compatibility
This plant thrives in a wide range of aquarium setups, with the exception of tanks that are too small or poorly lit. Hygrophila corymbosa ‘Siamensis’ doesn’t demand high lighting or strict nutrient requirements, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of tank environments. However, excessive light intensity relative to iron supply may lead to symptoms of iron deficiency, such as yellowing leaf tissue with green veins. Adequate macronutrient supply is also essential to prevent stunted growth.
Beautiful Aesthetic
Under optimal conditions, Hygrophila Corymbosa – Siamensis exhibits a slight bronze-coloured hue, adding a captivating visual dimension to your aquarium. Its adaptable nature makes it a perfect choice for both submerged and emersed setups, with emersed plants rewarding keepers with stunning purple flowers when well-fertilized.
Ideal for Aquascaping
Positioned in the middle to background of your aquarium, Hygrophila Corymbosa – Siamensis thrives as a fast-growing plant. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its aesthetic appeal, but propagation is a breeze – simply cut off a shoot and replant. Controlling growth and inducing ramification is achievable by cutting off the top shoot, resulting in a terraced group of stems that serve as an eye-catching focal point.
Natural Aquatic Aesthetic
Hygrophila corymbosa – Siamensis complements Asian-themed tanks and biotope setups perfectly. Pair it with Cryptocorynes and schooling cyprinids like Trigonostigma espei or T. heteromorpha for a natural and harmonious aquatic landscape that evokes the serene beauty of Southeast Asian waters.
