Members of this genus, with the exception of banana plants, require
tremendous amounts of light. Even at 4 watts per gallon, you are nowhere near
what they receive outside. Try putting it in a ten gallon tank and run a
couple of those screw-in flourescent tubes in an old incandescent light hood.
The brightest oned available. THen add a fan intothe hood to keep the tank
cool.
Good luck
