“This is an old specie that is still ordered by many shops because of its famous name. Actually quite logical as it is a rather easy specie for the user. The optimum temperature is between 18 and 26 degree Celsius so it is all ok. Under water however it becomes as totally different plant than the one you bought. It becomes shorter with a narrow serrated leas that is red or red-brown.”
