Description

Hygrophila lancea 'Chai' is a trade name used in the aquarium trade. Flowgrow documents the araguaia and sarawak cultivars of Hygrophila lancea but not a 'Chai' form, so the care values in the data sheet are not verified against an independent published source; the entry is flagged for owner review.
