SunGrow Aquarium Temple Decorations
What types of tanks will the giant hygrophila seeds grow in? This particular type of freshwater aquarium plant requires high sunlight and right water temperature conditions in order to thrive. The individual stem width ranges from 3-6 inches which make them perfect for medium and large tanks starting from 10 gallons. The green plant looks great in all types of freshwater fish tanks, from bettas and guppies to tetras and oscars.
How do I germinate these seeds? The seeds can be put into water, mud, ceramsite and sand. Keep the grass moist and evenly distribute the seeds. After seed germination, slowly inject water into the fish tank, and maintain the temperature above 25°C. Soon you will see the stem growing roots throughout the substrate. The plant will benefit if you have a Co2 system installed in your tank. The lighting requirements for this plant are not too demanding. As long as you are providing them moderate sunlight, there shouldn't be any problem. Since they are easy to propagate, you can reproduce them from the mother plants.
Does this plant spreads naturally? These are best suited as a background or carpet plant in the aquarium due to their height, in medium aquariums they can even be used as a specimen plant and will give a great display. The bright green freshwater aquascaping temple plant quickly propagates and spreads to form a stunning uninterrupted carpet of lush, dense underwater beauty. You can spread the rich landscape by cutting off the stem of the plants and plant them individually. Simply cut the plant at the height that you desire, but leave room for growth, then strip the leaves off of about an inch of the stem, and plant into the gravel. In time, roots will form at the last node and will aid in keeping the plant in place.
