This plant is exactly as described. The stems are dense and grow quickly in my tank. The red underside of the leaves is very noticeable under LED lighting. I’ve had it for two months and it’s thriving. Highly recommend for any beginner or experienced aquarist.

I bought this after reading the reviews and it’s definitely one of the best plants I’ve added. The variegation and red color are striking. It spreads well and doesn’t require much maintenance. Great value for the quality.
Claire Terry –
The plant arrived with roots, which is a big plus. It’s growing well in my 10-gallon tank. The red color on the leaves is subtle at first but becomes more visible over time. A bit of light adjustment helps bring out the color.

This is the first plant I’ve tried that actually looks good in a planted tank. The stems are full and the red underside is beautiful. I’ve added it to my main display and it’s become a focal point.
