McMerwe Review: It’s the perfect plant to fill in that gap in the tank where nothing grows. It has many leaves to hide any spot where other plants struggle to grow. It more dependant on co2 than light. The only drawback is that trimming the dead leaves is slightly difficult. A very beautiful dark green plant that creates a lot of definition. [Rating: 4/5]
