1-2-Grow! Hygrophila odora

Hygrophila Odora is a unique plant that displays a unique leaf shape. Being a marginal species, Hygrophila Odora can be grown in both submerged aquarium settings or emersed above water as long as proper bog-like conditions are provided. When grown emersed, this plant produces upright growth with dense short hairs covering its leaves and light bluish-purple blooms. When grown in the aquarium, Hygrophila Odora is bright green in color and appearance is similar to a cross between Hygrophila Difformis and Pinnatifida with thick stems. This particular Hygrophila species can be rather demanding when grown in submerged settings and will require soft water, CO2 injection, strong lighting and a quality source of nutrition for proper growth. The emersed form has a notable aroma when touched, reminiscent of a male goat, which is unique to this species.
