Anyone know where I could find the plant name Hygrophila corymbosa "siamensis". I've searched Aquariumplants.com and Azgardens.
What reliable dealer could I buy this from?

I know that Tropica sells this plant to most parts of the world...
Not to the US, there is a big "protective" law...

I think the only way to sell to the US is without any root material, could bring some bug with it, so they say...
so...it's forbidden! by law!
:)

Of course any bug can land in any boat that sails between Europe and America and land in the US...and the other way around...

In england there are already north american scorpions..and they are here to stay...

btw this plant might be also forbidden to sell, because of the danger to invade local US rivers...I really don't know.

nosenuggets,

I think just about any local store should be able to get you some of that. Like EDGE said, it's known commonly as Giant Hygro and is one of the bread and butter plants of the trade.


Best,
Phil
