ADA IC034 Hygrophila Lancea Araguaia | TC Live Plant

Product Description:

Araguaia is an uncommon midground or background plant which is named after the Brazilian river in which it comes from. Hygrophila can thrive when grown emersed and submerged. When grown submerged and kept under proper conditions, this plant can develop a deep pink to reddish brown coloration. Its appearance resembles that of a stem plant but it grows in short bushes which can add a nice bush effect to the midground of your aquarium.
