Hygrophila Pink Chai Vitro Culture

Hygrophila Pink Chai in Vitro Culture® – Striking Pink-Stemmed Aquarium Plant for Bold Aquascapes

Hygrophila lancea 'Pink Chai', commonly known as Hygrophila Pink Chai, is a visually striking and relatively new addition to the aquarium hobby.

Under the right conditions, its bold hues offer stunning contrast against traditional green foliage, making it a favorite for color-focused or Dutch-style aquascapes.

Now available in our sterile Vitro Culture® 4-inch bag, each portion includes multiple pest-free, lab-grown plantlets, cultivated using Tissue Culture Technology. This clean propagation process guarantees a healthy start that’s free from snails, algae, pesticides, and pathogens—ideal for shrimp tanks, nano aquariums, and high-end planted layouts.
