Great plant, grows really fast. With a lot of light, your leaves will be bright pink. Good plant to add some color to your tank.

This is a good low-light plant also. I have it growing in my low-light setup and it has a beautiful red color on the leaves that I never saw when I had it in my high-light set up.

This is a great plant for a beginner. I have it in my aquarium and it is easier to achieve the red tone leaves when the plant grows closer to the surface.

I love This Plant. It's the first plant I ever had and it has been growing steadily for 3 years now. Easy to grow and propagate in almost any light.

Under high light, the leaves have less red and it also tends to grow horizontally into open areas.

Sunset hygro grows extremely fast in most cases, and for this reason, is illegal to ship.

I obtained some, and have had nothing but great growth since. in my 55, i got the plant when i had low light. it was the only one growing fast, and looked good too. when i got high light on the tank, it grew even faster, and adding co2 and nutrients just feulled growth further. not a picky plant in any aspect, it is a gorgeus easy grower.

I've found it is a very nice plant if kept trimmed every week, otherwise it starts sending offsets form everywhere, roots come from every node, and it starts to take over.

emmersed sunset hygro is a fairly slow grower in my setup. it is sensitive to drying out, and is very delicate. The stems seem to grow cery hard in emmersion, and it spreads horizantally more than vertically.

This plant is great in any setup,Low light-High light its a Very fast grower, and will reach the surface of your tanks water in no time. Probably why its listed as an invasive plant. You will get a much better color if its in a brighter tank tho. It also propigates very easily,you will be trimming this plant back quite often.

I bought a small bunch of this attractive hygro for my 47 gal, and for sure it is a brilliant plant! I haven't seen much growth yet, though. I can't wait for it to grow out a bit!

Sunset Hygro is an amazing plant- one of my favorites. If you have about three watts per gallon, it would give you the more vibrant pink coloration that it would get. This plants need to be pruned ones it reaches the surface so it doesn't decrease the amount of light going to the other plants.

It is believed that the white veins are caused by a unharmful virus. This is a great plant.

As a n00b, I planted anything I could find just hoping to yield a few plants in the end that would live in my low-light mineralized tank. One turned out to be a weed that grows 6+ inches/day. My weeds that I dearly love, are the sunset Hygro. Anybody can grow this plant if it's a weed for me.

I forgot to mention that my pH is off the charts. It hasn't affected this plant in the least; so 7.5 listed above is way low for the maximum.
