Joseph Hunter –
I’ve had this plant for three months now and it’s thriving. The leaves are long and crinkled, giving a nice natural look. It’s easy to care for and doesn’t need much light. I didn’t have to worry about it dying or struggling to grow. Very satisfied with the purchase.

It arrived with a bit of water, which is good. I placed it in my 55-gallon tank with moderate lighting. After a week, the leaves started to unfurl. It’s not the fastest grower, but it’s steady and adds a nice texture to the background.

I was worried about hardy plants not surviving, but this one has been stable. The leaves are beautiful and maintain their shape even after being moved. I don’t need to adjust lighting or water parameters much. A great choice for beginners.
