I planted the Rosette Sword in my 20-gallon tank with moderate lighting and added iron fertilizer. It grew steadily within a month and adds a nice green texture to the mid-level. Easy to maintain and doesn’t compete with other plants for nutrients.

The plant arrived healthy and fits well in my tank as a mid-level filler. I gave it 4 hours of daylight and a weekly iron dose. It’s not the tallest plant, but it looks natural and supports the ecosystem.

Grew quickly in my aquarium with standard lighting. No CO2 needed, which made setup simple. The rosette shape is unique and adds visual interest without taking up too much space.
