I have grown HC Cuba successfully and the info that I am sharing is from my experience. This may or may not work out for you as every one of us have different conditions inside our tanks. HC Cuba is surely one of the smallest and cutest plant in the aquarium hobby. It is less demanding than Glossostigma or hairgrass. It spreads through extended shoots under gravel, under water. Little flowers bloom in case of emersed growth. Give it fresh water through regular water change as it is generally found near streams, meaning moving water. It does not really need high light as per my experience and can be easily termed as a medium light plant. Just plant them on a fertile bed and do regular water change and keep light within 0.4-0.5 W/L.
