With its large, long leaves Hygrophila guianensis is most suitable for
planting in groups in large aquariums. It is demanding in terms of light, and
thrives best when CO2 is added and the bottom is nutritious. If it is
not pruned it easily grows above the water surface, which makes it suitable for
open aquariums.
