please have a read through the FAQs, use the search function, articles in AQ and tank calculator to help yourself. As simon said, enough CO2 and light are the most important factors, for ALL plants.

anything above 2 watts per gal is good, but some members provide more.. you have to help them anchor themselves by pushing those growing upwards down
