My experiences
At this time (4-11-01) I only have this plant in my aquarium
for about five week so my personal experiences with this plant are limited at
this time. After I had this plant in my aquarium for about one week the plants
started to form the first new leaves. Now I have this plant in my aquarium for
about five weeks the plants are growing well, but new leaves are formed very
slowly. Despite of the slow growth of this plant it looks like that this plant
has a good resistance against algae at this time.
