Let us know how it goes. It might take a few weeks to see improvement, so be patient.

For real, plants don't change overnight. Give it time and tweak as needed. You got this.

Also, keep an eye on algae when you increase light and ferts. Sometimes it's a balancing act. If algae shows up, dial back a bit or add some floating plants to shade the Hygrophila.

Trimming helps a ton. Every time I cut mine back, it comes back thicker. Don't be afraid to prune it hard if it's looking sparse.
