I bought this plant for my 10-gallon freshwater tank and it has grown beautifully in just two weeks. The golden leaves stand out well against the dark background. It spreads nicely and adds a natural look without needing much care. Perfect for someone starting out with aquariums.
Olivia Knox –
The plant arrived fresh and healthy. I placed it in a partially submerged area and it has been thriving. The leaves are bright and the trailing stems create a nice flow. A little more light helps it grow faster, but it’s very forgiving of low light.
Lillian Welch –
Great addition to my paludarium. It grows well in both water and air, and the coin-shaped leaves look very natural. I didn’t have to trim it at all—just let it spread. Very easy to maintain and looks great after a few weeks.
