Hygrophila Salicifolia

Hygrophila salicifolia, the willow-leaf hygro, grows long, slender leaves that give it a graceful, willowy silhouette as it stretches toward the surface. It's a fast, forgiving stem that pulls nutrients hard from the water column, helping to outcompete algae in newer tanks. Plant it in groups along the background where it can fill vertical space quickly.
