3 Month Quest For A Giant Hygrophila

[dipsydoodlenoodle]

There is a shop close to me which if they don't have it will order it in for you and they do delivery.

They are called "Tyne Valley Aquatics" - google them and they have an email address and phone number; it may be worth asking them.

I'm positive our garden centres have them in their fish departments too; it'll be 3 plants for £10 as well. Like I said I'll look when I call in tonight and let you know.

EDIT: I guess I should say that the shop I recommended are generally pretty good; although I contacted them about ordering plants in and they were quite expensive; and they actually sell the plants in the shop cheaper than they would order it in for me

I have two of these exact plants I believe and they grow manic and are gorgeous
I also happen to live in London (harrow) well close enough

I have a 3rd growth shooting off... I think have to double check, once I'm home ill upload a few pictures. Got a little bit of algae on it not much just im trying to get my co2 level good so it stops

If you want it it's your for 1/2p. Hehe

MSG me or something and I'll sort it out for you for free assuming it's the plant and the offshoot if good enough to survive

What about

http/www.plantsalive.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=518

Which I've had before and as long as you've got enough lighting grows pretty quickly and looks like the photo.

Yup pics would be great!

is it this?

 

[LondonguyJ]

Yes

I do believe it is!!!

hygrophila corymbosa siamensis 53b

I'm not entirely sure if it is...looks a tiny bit different but same plants do vary

 

[LondonguyJ]

No fair

I was excited but that is an eco variant not a giant hygo. The saga continues I guess.

Sorry currently can't getics to you as my internets downs and i can only use iPad for the net now using wifi from neighbour with consent

Outgrowing the height of my tank

Hey ShoC

I Just took a look at your planted journal. Great pics I was hoping to see it there but I'll wait for your internet to get back up.

My search ended today...

The lfs that I had mentioned earlier passed my number on to a hobbyist whom I have just bought my giant hygro from. It won't be with me until the end of the week but I'm glad I no longer have to search anymore.

So just wanted to say cheers for all your input and advice, it's so very much appreciated.

I do have a question about terracotta rings and pots but I'll save that for another thread.
