I added the Water Rose to my 50-liter freshwater tank and it has been blooming beautifully since week two. The white flowers are delicate and the green leaves add a nice contrast. It’s easy to maintain and doesn’t need much light. Great for beginners looking to add color and life to their aquarium.
