Wow! I envy you I tried to aquire this sp a few months back but its a very difficult one to come by. Are you setting up a tank specifically for this sp? I've read its a difficult one to maintain due to its specific water parameters......

Yes, it's an ultra difficult plant.. after about +- 2 months, the root only grows about +-3cm.. very2 slow plant.. And the new leaves are getting smaller and smaller. Maybe because root nutrition deficiency..

Very nice, please keep us updated on its growth in your tank.
It kinda looks like a vegetable.
