The plant arrived quickly and looks healthy. It has grown well in my 10-gallon tank with moderate lighting. The leaves are vibrant and spread out nicely in the foreground. Easy to maintain and adds a natural look to the tank.

I planted a clump and it has filled out nicely in a few weeks. The color is bright green with a slight yellow tint. It doesn’t grow tall, which is perfect for a low-lying carpet effect.
Jason Martin –
Great value for the size. The clump is dense and spreads well. I used it as a foreground layer and it looks very natural. No issues with algae or growth problems so far.
