It is in a high light tank. The
ONLY reason it's there is because all of my tanks are high light tanks. I am sure it will do well with 2wpg or maybe 1.5 it may just grow slower, which may be a blessing in disguise. A low tech tank should be fine.
I grows extremely well and super fast in a high tech tank. So far the only thing I see that really bothers it is super high humidity. I just crack my glass cover about 1/4" and that solved the problem.
This is a link I found that may help you:

The comment in the middle of the page is the one about the mini.
It's a very pretty plant.
