One of the best looking plants I've managed to grow!! As long as you have the proper lighting and fert regime, it will grow fast (and inch a week)and begin so send out side shoots!! Everyone that sees my tank always comments on the "big reddish-purple tree-like plant". It also grows upright rather than twisted like L. repens. A great background or centerpiece!!

This plant is gorgeous! I had it for a good few months (in which it thrived) and then it just started melting away even though I hadn't changed anything with my tank. The color was pretty easy to maintain though. The higher leaves were deep purple and the lower more dark pink.
