Ava Sutherland –
Grew quickly in my 10-gallon tank. The leaves are dense and form a nice carpet. Works well with my driftwood and sand substrate. Easy to maintain and looks great in both Dutch and nature styles.
Yvonne Paterson –
I planted it in the foreground and it filled the space nicely. The color is vibrant and it doesn’t spread too much, which is good for small tanks.
Faith Hunter –
Perfect for beginners. It’s compact and doesn’t require much attention. I love how it looks in my planted tank with small stones and moss.

Grew well in a low-light setup. The plant stayed upright and didn’t become leggy. A reliable choice for a lush, green base.
