    It's exotic plants from Plastic Land. Very hard to find and extremely difficult to grow.

    Don't know if they're extremely difficult to grow, but I do know that they grow extremely slowly.
    When I had some in my tanks years ago, they didn't push out any new leaves in more than 5 years.

    The plants of mine, they don't need lights to stay green. Just a little spray paint.
