Lucky to have gotten this plant. Not much info on how it grows, how tall will it become.

This plant is a weed. under lower light it will grow a very dark green. I have it outdoors growing in greenwater...and its growing like mad. I have tonnes of it somewhere lurking in the pond water.

Yes Sir, you reckoned that it is a tough and fast producing plant. May I ask how tall will it grow cause I do not know if I have even placed it correctly in my tank at the moment.

I have seen it grow in the wild at pretty deep conditions. I know because when I tried to get it, I fell into the water, about close to 1 1/2 metres (estimated) then in a dark water area.

Oh thanks for the info Jungle, guess it's gonna be a background plant. And wow what a dangerous plant

Take note, the plant does not do well outside water at all, do not let it get exposed to the air for more than a minute. Make sure you have a pail of water when you trim the excess.
