I love it. But the rotala in the front is a little off setting. Plus they grow pretty fast and you'll have to be trimming them alot to keep them low.

Hi, thanks for your comment and also for noticing... I know Rotala macrandra's a tall plant but I've noticed that when it grows tall, the leaves below tend to rot as light doesn't penetrate there... I guess, perhaps my lighting's not string enough (?)...

Actually I've been looking for Pogostemon helferi but can't find it... In good time, I hope to replace it with this magnificent foreground plant
