I keep this plant under 3.8wpg and CO2 6mg/L and it grows fast and looks great with dark red leaves with only a little green.

Very easy plant. Establishes nicely and has a more pronounced, brighter red under high light
Jen
I keep this plant under 2wpg using DYI CO2 with no trouble. It stay red and grows quickly.

Easy to propogate--simply trim and replant the clippings. I'm working on a carpet of these. Lovely plant.

I have to agree with all of these comments. I have mine in a 45 gallon tank with 2-3wpg, diy CO2, flourite, fertilizers once per week and it grows like a weed! I trim weekly and replant and it fills it wonderfully. I posted the fourth picture down for reference.

for some reason i have had very little success with this plant. i have tried it in several tanks, ranging from 1.5 wpg no co2, to 3 wpg DIY co2. and a few in between. could be the pH which is usually around 7.5 - 8 depending on the tank. and i do keep my tanks on the warm side, around 80 - 82 F. It did best in the high light tank. but quickly became choked out by hair algae.
