It features dark green, broad leaves that grow in a dense, bushy shape—ideal for creating a lush, natural look without overwhelming the aquascape.
This species is an excellent option for beginners due to its undemanding nature. It thrives in a wide range of conditions and adapts well to low-tech setups, though it will benefit from nutrient-rich substrate and regular fertilization.
