Not overly picky about the conditions under which it grows, it needs strong lighting, the addition of ample co2 and a well rounded fertilization routine to show the strong royal purple colors and compact growth. Limiting nitrate levels to around ten to fifteen part per million will help accomplish that. Additionally, a phosphate level of 1-2ppm should be maintained. It has a medium to fast growth rate under those parameters.
