I hadn't seen flowers on this one so I thought I'd try for some. This is another tough hygro that can handle low humidity, but I suspect it would be a better looking plant in proper soil and more moisture. These shoots are in small rubbermaid containers with waterlogged aquasoil. They are sitting on the rim of an acrylic cube under HQI lights.Ha! That's funny. I've been growing some out for the same purpose but you beat me to it. I flowered it before in another setup and it looked a lot like yours. In my current setup, the whole plant is a deep maroon and the stem is covered in dense glandular hairs. Very variable depending on environment.
More pictures?
thanks, and these hygro sp 'bold' stems began as submerged but now I only have them growing out of water. Under water the leaves were larger and darker, but I don't have any pictures of that yet. After the flowers open and I get pictures, I'll switch stems back to submerged so I can complete my set of pictures for this sp.Nice emerse growth you have.
Do you grow them submerse, how does it look like if any?
I am currently growing Hygrophila sp. 'Araguaia' emmerse but no flower yet.
My stems of this are finally growing well after many months. They are, however, not green much at all. I do have high light. Here's a px.Hi ashappard, I think you can do some stem cutting and plant them submerse. Most stem plant emmerse and submerse look differently.
Submerse Hygrophila sp. 'Araguaia', the leave can be dark reddish in color.
Emmerse Hygrophila sp. 'Araguaia', the leave usually is green with slight darkish morroon color. But i am still trying to grow more so i can do more experience and hope to get it flower one day.
once you get open flowers, you can try to pollinate them with a cotton swab or paint brush. Some plants can self-pollinate, others require two separate plants to be flowering at the same time. If successfully pollinated a 'fruit' or fruit-like structure should form. These can contain seeds.Is it actually possibly to grow these hygros from seed?
we can always use some good high-quality pictures for the plant finder, especially of flowersthanks, and these hygro sp 'bold' stems began as submerged but now I only have them growing out of water.

please feel free to add my pics to the plantfinder if they are helpful, I'll update with more here once the flowers are open.we can always use some good high-quality pictures for the plant finder, especially of flowers![]()
I've got mine going emersed and it has produced about ten flowers by now. They're lilac and fairly large in relation to the rest of the plant. Strong light is needed! I can give more details later if you're interested.Nice emerse growth you have.
