Hygrophila corymbosa 'Compact' is a great aquarium plant for beginners due to its hardy nature. It is a tough and low light tolerant plant with round to oval leaves that grow in a bushy formation, making it a great choice for midground planting. It can also be used in the background if trimmed regularly.

It can grow well in most water conditions, but the growth rate can be greatly increased by providing nutrient-rich substrate and regular fertilisation.

Under high light conditions in high-tech tanks, the leaves of Hygrophila corymbosa 'Compact' turn a deep reddish-brown, adding an interesting colour contrast to the aquarium. This feature makes it a great addition to any aquascape that requires a touch of vibrant colour.

Hygrophila corymbosa 'Compact' is a great addition to any aquascape, providing a lush, green bushy appearance in low light with the potential for compact reddish-brown leaves under high light conditions. This undemanding plant makes a great, versatile choice for any aquarium.
