My specimen is growing in a 40 liter aquarium. The pH is around 6.7, slightly soft water, usually elevated phosphates (but trying to get this under control) with very bright light, water fertilizers and a substrate made up of soil, clay, laterite, fertilizer sticks and a top layer of epoxy-coated gravel. The plant is not growing very fast but since I added very bright lighting, the upper leaves have grown reddish. Looks very nice that way. It's been in my tank for about 2 months now. I'm hoping that it will establish itself, become lush eventually. The distinguishing feature is the saw-tooth edges on the foliage. Mine are really prickly-looking, which I find just marvelous.
