Descripción

Hygrophila polysperma is the most forgiving stem plant there is: it grows in practically any conditions, with low light, no CO2 and in hard water, and does so at a speed that makes it the best ally of a newly set up tank. That same virtue is its problem in some places: it is classified as an invasive species in the United States and several European countries, and its sale is banned.
