<strong>Some Information:</strong>
<em>Light</em>: Moderate
<em>Growth</em>: Grows fast in my high light tank.
<em>Pruning</em>: Simply cut the stems and replant or chuck them. It'll encourage bushy growth.
<em>Propagation</em>: Extremly easy to propagate
via cuttings.

<em>Experiences</em>: Fast growing plant that
gets into all the plants nearby, giving
a 'jungle' look. Nice color offers great contrast. Internodal roots are normal for this
plant but the dense growth covers them well.

<em>Planting</em>: Looks nice in the midground but
I've used it on the foreground for a while too.
Some people even use it in the background!
