Hygrophila Poly Sperm

Hygrophila Poly Sperm

This is a species that has the appearance of a terrestrial plant, and it is specially interesting for the reason that it is the only aquatic of the genus. The leaves sprout from a central stem not unlike the foliage of antirrhinum, except that the colouring is a lot lighter.

It propagates from cuttings snipped off just below a node with outgrowing root tendrils on the stem.
