Hygrophila corymbosa ‘Siamensis 53B’ – Tropica potted

Hygrophila corymbosa 'Siamensis 53B' is a form of Hygrophila corymbosa 'Siamensis' that produces numerous side shoots. It becomes bushy relatively quickly. Stems reach about 15–40 cm tall and 7–12 cm wide, giving a group both height and substantial branching.

Narrow leaves and changing colour

The bright green leaves are narrower than those of standard 'Siamensis'. Under good light, reddish-brown tones can develop. This allows the plant to provide a finer leaf texture while still responding visibly to the conditions in the aquarium.

Prune and replant

Hygrophila corymbosa 'Siamensis 53B' is described as undemanding and fast-growing. Frequent pruning helps maintain its bushy form. Cut shoots can be replanted; they form roots and continue growing. The plant information lists low light and CO2 demands with a medium overall growth classification. This Tropica potted presentation suits a layout where a branching stem group can be maintained regularly.
