| 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. Hygrophila corymbosa
"Siamensis" requires quite high light
intensities but apart from this it does not need any
special water composition. If Hygrophila corymbosa "Siamensis" 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 |
