Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig' in pot - Tropica

Hygrophila polysperma 'Rosanervig' is normally a little demanding plant.

It can happen that all of a sudden they develop completely green shoots. Remove them to maintain the characteristics of marbled pink leaves. If you want intense pink leaves, it is necessary to provide intense light. The stems become 20-40 cm tall and 5-8 cm wide.

The characteristic coloring of the ribs of the clear leaves is probably caused by a virus that prevents the production of chlorophyll in the cells around the ribs of the leaves, making them white. However, this virus does not affect other plants in the aquarium.
