Swords are the plant that does best for me. I have a heavily stocked
tank with 2" aquarium coarse gravel over a ugf with powerhead. There
is A LOT OF MULM in the sand. Every sword I have tried has done well
except those that are so short they get badly shaded by the monsters
dominating the tank. I have taken close to 100 baby plants out of
this tank and several "adult" size ones. Dave
