Easy to grow and stays vibrant even in low light. The narrow leaves add a nice texture to my tank. I’ve been able to propagate several new plants from trimmings, which is a big plus for beginners.

Grows quickly and adapts well to my aquarium setup. Colors shift slightly depending on light, which is interesting to watch. A bit more trimming than I expected, but worth it for the growth.
