Hygrophila rosanervig Pink Poly

Pink Poly (Hygrophila rosanervig) is a stunning and eye-catching stem plant native to Southeast Asia, instantly recognisable by its broad, textured leaves adorned with a striking network of vivid pink to white veins that contrast beautifully against the deep green leaf surface. This remarkable variegation gives it an almost painted quality, making it one of the most visually distinctive plants in the freshwater aquarium hobby. Easy to grow and adaptable, it makes a bold statement in the midground to background of any planted tank and is sure to draw attention from visitors and fellow hobbyists alike.

Propagation: Take stem cuttings of 5–10cm, remove lower leaves, and replant into the substrate. Grows at a moderate pace and benefits from regular trimming to maintain shape and encourage branching.
