Hygrophila corymbosa 'siamensis', also known as Blue Stricta, is a popular background plant in the aquarium hobby. This plant has large, bright green leaves that are tough and low-light tolerant, making it an easy plant to grow in most tanks. It is a versatile plant that can adapt to different water parameters, making it suitable for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.

One of the best things about Blue Stricta is that it can grow with ease in most tanks, as it is highly adaptable to different water conditions. If you want to speed up its growth, we recommend CO2 supplementation and regular water fertilisation which will also increase the size and vibrance of its foliage. In high light situations, the uppermost leaves of Blue Stricta may develop a deep maroon colouration, adding a striking contrast to its bright green leaves. This colour change can add a unique and beautiful touch to your aquarium.

Blue Stricta is not only a beautiful plant, but it also serves a practical purpose in the aquarium. It helps to improve water quality by absorbing excess nutrients and reducing algae growth. Its large leaves also provide hiding places for shy fish and fry, making it a great addition to any community tank.

Hygrophila corymbosa 'siamensis' is a versatile and easy-to-grow plant that is perfect for creating a lush and beautiful background in your aquarium. With its large, bright green leaves and adaptability to different water conditions, it is a must-have plant for any aquarist.
