The plant arrived healthy and I was able to plant it directly in my substrate. It has spread well over the last few weeks and looks vibrant. Great for beginners and works well in low to medium light.

It grows quickly and stays healthy even in my warm water setup. I used it as cover for my small fish and they seem to enjoy it. A bit of effort is needed to remove the Styrofoam, but otherwise very easy to maintain.
