Under the right conditions this plant can create a lush foreground. It need high ligt to stay low, but will grow and thrive under low ligth. When planting them split it out into 8 parts, if you dont do that it will be so compact, that algea will grow on it.

For me this plant is very easy to grow. It survived (and grew slowly) under the shade of a big Java Fern and then survived months of heavy green water. I have noticed that every time I replant it most of the older leaves die off, but new ones grow in quickly.
