When I first got this plant it was growing in my 75 gallon under low-medium light. It put out a new leaf about once a week. I was using DIY C02 at about 1bps changed every month, in Flourite with TMG weekly. It was in about 22 ˚C water. Now I have it under height light with C02 at about 5 bps in 29 ˚C degree water. With Flourite and TMG weekly. It puts out about a leaf every 1-2 days.

I had some algae problems in my first setup with low light and I trimmed all the leaves down so just the roots and bulbs where left and it never grew back but the second plantlet I only trimmed the worst leaves and it made it through.
This plant has only made one runner and only one of the flowers turned into a plantlet. It is a beautiful plant that sends out red leaves that turn to a brownish green over time. It must have lots of space as it quickly overgrows its tank. Mine is 21 + inches and still getting taller.
