I received five cherry hedge plants and they grew well in my 10-gallon tank with moderate lighting. The plant color is vibrant and they look natural in the water. Easy to maintain and adds a nice green touch to the aquarium.

The plants arrived healthy and were about 7 inches tall as described. I like how they don’t need much light and adapt well to my tank’s conditions. A good choice for beginners.
