The stems arrived fresh and looked healthy. After a few weeks in my aquarium, they started showing pink and green hues. I placed them with spacing and they grow well without needing extra lighting. A nice addition to my planted tank.

I bought this for my freshwater setup and it adapted quickly. The color change was subtle at first but became more vibrant over time. I didn’t use CO₂, but the growth was steady. Good value for the quantity.

The plant has been thriving in my tank for over a month. The color variation is beautiful, especially in the evening light. I spaced the stems properly and they don’t compete for nutrients. Easy to maintain.
