I added Mermaid Weed to my 10-gallon tank and it grew well even with moderate lighting. The leaves are delicate and add a nice visual contrast to the other plants. It’s easy to maintain and looks great in the water.

The stems arrived fresh and the plant has been growing steadily. I noticed the tips turning slightly red when I increased the light, which I find quite beautiful. It fits well in my planted tank setup.
