a good plant for a well managed high light tank with supplemental CO2 and regular nutrient supply. It will stunt quickly if nutrients are in short supply. It responds favorably to very intense light, and will become very red, as shown in the photos from the wild. In an aquarium with good conditions but less bright light, it will still grow well, but will be greener. This is true even in the wild. While it prefers sunny locations, it will also grow in the shade, but in these locations, the leaves are not as red.

Place your order by 6 pm EST Sunday and it will arrive the same week by Friday.
