It has red-brown, cognac-coloured leaves. Grows best in soft and slightly acidic water. Make sure the lower leaves get sufficient light otherwise they turn black and fall off. This plant is similar to Amania species and is often mistaken for them. In the aquarium it can be recognised by its yellow-green stems. Easy to propagate by side shoots or cuttings which can be cut off and planted at the bottom.
