Hygrophila Compacta Mini
You will receive: 1 pot, ready to plant — freshly delivered from the nursery.
✅ Level: Easy — Hygrophila Compacta Mini has low demands and is a slow, low-maintenance grower.
Hygrophila Compacta Mini, also known as Nomaphila Siamensis Parvifolia or Hygrophila Corymbosa 'Compact', distinguishes itself from the common Hygrophila Corymbosa by its much smaller leaves that are very closely spaced. The plant grows slowly and develops light green leaves underwater. As the plant ages, the lower leaves may be lost — this is normal. Ideal for the foreground or midground.

Plant the stems in the foreground or midground. The plant grows slowly — little maintenance is required. Optionally remove old lower leaves for a neat appearance. Liquid fertilizer like Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
