Hygrophila Lancea Chai – Delicate Pink Mutation with High Demand Profile
Hygrophila sp. Chai is a specialty plant originating from Singapore—a rare mutation of Hygrophila araguaia distinguished by its vibrant pink coloration and delicate structure.
It thrives only under dedicated aquascaping conditions: high-intensity lighting, strong CO₂ supplementation, soft water with gentle flow, and ultra-clean substrates. Any drop in water quality or nutrient imbalance can cause leaf melt or algae outbreaks.
The plant grows as a slow-creeping stem along the bottom of the tank and pairs well with minimalistic or Iwagumi aquascapes where pink contrast is desired.
Care Guidelines:
- Use strong lighting (over 60 PAR)
- Inject CO₂ and maintain low phosphate fluctuations
- Provide consistent micronutrient dosing
- Avoid rough water movement or sudden parameter changes
