'Bonsai'\u003c\/strong\u003e is a compact stem plant prized for its small, neatly arranged leaves and dense, architectural growth. Often sold in the aquarium trade under the familiar “Bonsai” name, it develops a tidy shrub-like form with green to warm bronze coloration under stronger light. Its controlled growth makes it an excellent foreground or midground accent, especially in Dutch-style and nano aquascapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bunched offering provides multiple stems that can be separated and planted individually.
