The Indian water star impresses with its finely feathered, light green leaves, which give the underwater landscape a lively yet delicate structure. Due to its fast growth, Hygrophila difformis is particularly suitable as a background plant and actively contributes to improving water quality as it efficiently absorbs excess nutrients.
It looks particularly harmonious in combination with plants that have simpler leaf shapes, as this emphasises its delicate structure. This plant is easy to care for and grows reliably even under simple conditions. Propagation is effortless via side shoots, which can be separated from the main shoot and replanted - ideal for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
