It enjoys moderate lighting and provides a gorgeous reddish tint to it's beautiful elongated leaves. The red stem helps aid this visual effect. I would say it likes its PH around 6.8 to 7.5.  (We have found it doesn't care for harder water than 7.5....)    Don't over think that- this plant doesn't care!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese plants have beautiful white roots and are completely submerged plants. I would rate it a 3 out of 10 in terms of difficulty as it does prefer a moderate light.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more light you give them, the more RED they will give you.  We have grown them in near full sun to get that red stem really popping off and coming out into the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder lower light it will be more lighter green.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have some fun growing this above water as well.
