Easy to grow and stays healthy in my 10-gallon tank. The green, ruffled leaves add a nice texture to the midground. No CO2 needed, which is great for beginners. Plants spread slowly but steadily through runners.

I’ve had this plant for three months and it’s doing well in low light. The leaves are vibrant green and look natural in my aquascape. It’s not fast-growing, but it’s reliable and doesn’t need extra equipment.

Perfect for a beginner aquarist. I didn’t have to adjust lighting or add CO2. The plant grows steadily and adds a nice visual layer to the middle of the tank.
