has been growing quite well for almost one year. I think some of the
keys, which apply to most aquatic plants as well, is good lighting and
frequent partial water changes. I use 4-30 watt bulbs in my 35 gal. tank
and change a minimum of 50% of the water each week. I also have inserted
laterite in the form of balls into the gravel, use DIY CO2, and
supplement the water with various iron supplements.

A good complement to aquatic plants are orchids.
