I’ve been growing Pennywort for two months now and it’s spreading quickly. It looks natural and fills the middle and back of my tank well. The plant is easy to maintain and doesn’t require much attention. I love how it adds depth and greenery without needing extra nutrients.

It grew fast after I set up the lighting and temperature. I kept it floating at first, then rooted it in the substrate. It’s now covering the surface nicely. I didn’t have to do much care, which is great for a new aquarist like me.
