The plant arrived quickly and looks vibrant in my 20-liter tank. I’ve been trimming it every two weeks and it’s growing densely. The red-violet colour stands out well in the foreground.
Bella Springer –
It’s a nice addition to my small aquarium. I placed the stems with spacing and it’s spreading well. The colour is more intense under stable lighting.
Rose Short –
I love how compact and neat it grows. After a few weeks of regular trimming, it forms a dense mat that adds visual interest without taking up too much space.
Faith Butler –
It grows slowly and needs consistent lighting. I noticed the colour isn’t as vivid without strong light, so I adjusted my setup accordingly.
