Hygrophila Corymbosa, also known as Temple Plant, is one of the most popular and versatile aquarium plants from Asia. The plant is known for its robust nature, rapid growth, and large decorative leaves. Due to its fast growth, it is excellent for starting new aquariums — the plant absorbs excess nutrients and effectively helps prevent algae growth. It thrives particularly well in soft water.

✂️ Care
Plant the stems in groups with ±5–6 cm spacing in the mid or background zone. The plant grows quickly — prune weekly to bi-weekly and replant the tops for a denser, bushier group. CO₂ is not mandatory but accelerates growth. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planting tip
Ideal as a starter plant for new aquariums — its rapid growth stabilizes water quality and helps prevent algae growth. Also check out our Hygrophila care guide for more tips.
