The pink leaves are striking and add a nice color to my tank. I’ve kept it for over six months and it’s still healthy. I didn’t move it after planting and it’s stayed in place. Lighting is medium and it’s doing well.

Beautiful plant with vibrant pink foliage. It grows slowly, which is fine for my setup. I gave it medium lighting and it’s thriving. I didn’t disturb it after planting, which I’m glad I did.

The color is nice, but it’s slow to establish. I had to wait a few weeks before it showed visible growth. I keep it in mid-ground and it’s stable now. Not the fastest grower, but it’s worth it for the look.
