The plant arrived healthy and was already rooted. It grows steadily in my tank with moderate lighting. The leaves are long and elegant, adding a nice background texture. Easy to maintain and looks great after a few weeks.

I planted it in my freshwater aquarium with standard lighting. It has spread well and the green leaves are very vibrant. The terracotta pot adds a natural look to the setup.

Perfect for beginners. The plant is established and just needs to be placed in the substrate with the crown above. No CO₂ needed. Looks natural and grows quickly.
