Love this plant and looks so good in the aquarium.

Review

Very interesting looking plant. Arrived strong and healthy. Fell in love with it as soon as it was in the tank.The pattern on the leaves remind me of that of Calathea. It was difficult to find more online information about it in regards to the colours the leafs can display but apparently the range is from pink over brown green to dark green.

Review

Looks a little different than the photo, with longer leaves, but still a great plant. Arrived healthy and a good size and is already growing well after 2 weeks of planting.
