Received the Telanthera plants in good condition. The red undertones on the leaves are quite striking. They grow slowly, which is perfect for a beginner aquarist. I keep the pH below 7.5 and they’re thriving in moderate light.

The plants arrived neatly packed. I planted them in a 10-gallon tank with moderate lighting. After a few weeks, the leaves have started to grow slightly. They look beautiful with the red coloration.

I was impressed by the color and the plant’s resilience. The instructions were clear and the pH requirement was easy to manage. It’s a great addition to a planted tank.
