To the best of my knowledge they need a lot of light, nutricious substrate, and a dormant period. Not a beginners plant. Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

It's very difficult and growth is poor in tropical temps. 24-26o is pretty much max. It needs a decent enough fert regime,especially micros, not particularly difficult to supply it's needs if you have a well run well planted tank. Definately not a beginners plant. I'd wait 'til you have a bit more experience under you're belt. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.

Thank you,unfortunately it's far too close to the truth for comfort Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue.
