Tropica Hygrophila lancea Araguaia (Medium Tech)
Tropica Hygrophila lancea ‘Araguaia’ is a striking mid- to foreground stem plant known for its slender leaves and rich, reddish-brown coloration. Its compact, bushy growth habit adds structure and contrast to aquascapes, especially in layouts that benefit from warm tones and fine textures. With consistent lighting and nutrients, the plant develops deeper coloration and maintains its elegant, upright form.

In a few days, after placing your plants in the aquarium you will notice some of the leaves start to melt and fall away.
This means the transition process has started. Please note the plants might look DEAD, but they are fully alive, so do not panic. Also, after a few days you will notice new growth will appear and the plant will fully change its form into submersed growth. You need to continuously trim and put a fertilizer in for the plants to thrive in your aquarium. Two good fertilizers include Easy Life – Profito and Scape Complete or our premium APT Zero. All plants have specific needs but if you follow the general instructions on our labels the plant will transition well and will eventually succeed and prosper in your aquarium.
