Easy to set up and grows quickly in my 10-gallon tank. The leaves spread out nicely and add a nice green color. I didn’t need any special lighting or CO2. Works well in mid-ground and looks natural.
Alexandra Wright –
Grew fast after a few weeks. The plant stayed healthy even with low water movement. I added a bit of liquid fertilizer and it responded well. A great choice for beginners.

Perfect for a small aquarium. The yellow-green leaves are striking and the plant expands nicely. No issues with lighting or maintenance. Highly recommend for new aquarists.
