Grew my first water onion with this plant and it adapted well to the tank. It stays green and looks nice in the background. Easy to care for even as a beginner. No special lighting or fertilizers needed.

Planted it in my freshwater tank with low light. It grew slowly but steadily. I cut off a baby plant last week and it’s already showing signs of growth. Very hardy and doesn’t seem to mind being moved around.

Perfect for a new aquascaping setup. It’s easy to grow and doesn’t require much attention. The green color adds a nice touch to the background of my tank.
