Grew quickly in my 50-liter tank. The carpet formed nicely without needing much maintenance. I trimmed it a few times to keep it at 10 cm. Very easy to care for and adds a natural look to the tank.

Planted it in a well-lit corner and it spread out nicely. The roots spread slowly but steadily. I didn’t have to trim it much, but I did cut it back once when it reached 14 cm.

Perfect for beginners. It’s hardy and doesn’t compete with other plants. The height stays consistent and the texture is very appealing in the water.
