I don't think I would've guessed that was L. aromatica, and I didn't know there was a mini version but I love the way it looks from above.

Got these from @Burr740 it is a nice bushy plant. Would be perfect for a nano setup. Waiting to see how tall I can get it to for a bush.

I have some growing as tall as 13" but like some other stems, it does get "leggy" at that height. I have it behind hardscape so it looks fine, but in a more garden style scape, I recommend keeping it trimmed no more than 8" to 10". Just my experience. I have it in all of 5 of my tanks so far because it is such an easy and fast grower, although, like other plants in my new garden tank, it's also an algae magnet if your having a problem with it.

Makes sense, it does seem to get dense and guess it shades off the bottom. Will have to see..
