The plant has grown well in my aquarium with moderate lighting. The leaf tips are very delicate and add a nice visual appeal. I planted it on a rock and it has stayed healthy without any signs of being eaten by my fish.

It’s a beautiful addition to my tank. The growth is slow but steady. I like how it looks in the background with the other plants. I made sure to place it on a stone and it hasn’t spread too much yet.

Great plant for beginners. It’s hardy and doesn’t require much maintenance. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still thriving. My fish haven’t touched it at all.
