It hasn't grown very well for me in the past and I was curious
as to the parameters of your water. Has anyone on the list
grown it in water considered to be of low GH or low KH?
I'm guessing that it might prefer a water of moderate
alkalinity.
A while back someone had suggested that it didn't like much
water movement.
