Grew Blyxa Japonica in a 20-gallon tank with high lighting and fertilized substrate. The plant established quickly and adds a nice green buffer in front of my larger plants. Leaves are slightly variegated depending on light exposure. Easy to cut and propagate when needed.
Fiona Hart –
Planted in a well-lit tank with CO2. Growth is steady and the plant looks natural in the foreground. I noticed leaf size varies slightly based on light intensity. Satisfactory for a beginner aquascaper.

Perfect for creating a clean, natural look in the front of my aquarium. The plant grows well with regular fertilization and responds well to CO2. I’ve propagated it twice already using cuttings. Very reliable.
