Carl McLean –
The red stems are vibrant and add a strong visual impact to my aquarium. I planted them individually with spacing, and they’ve grown well under stable lighting. The colour is deep and stands out against the background.

I bought this for a new tank setup and it’s been a great addition. The stems are sturdy and the red hue is intense. I’m using it as a background filler and it looks natural with the other plants.
Heather Langdon –
The plant arrived quickly and the stems were in good condition. I placed them with some space between each, and they’ve been thriving under moderate lighting. The colour is more pronounced than expected.
