Under hi light conditions mine was never green and remained red and never had the long stemmed leaves that LVKSPlantlady is showing pictures of. I wish I had taken pictures of mine as the E. Midifleur is the only sword of a reasonable size that has really impressed me. And armedbiggiet if it was misspelled earlier, it is likely my fault, I am prone to leaving vowels out when I type too fast.

This is an awesome plant. Mine have become somewhat leggy over time, but it's probably the plant I'll have the most trouble parting with when I break down my tank in the near future

The long leggy one were there when I got the plant, they have since melted away just the stems were left so I cut them off, There are 3 new leaves now that are not so leggy and are green with red fish bone markings, I'll post new pics this afternoon. The other one I got does not seem to be doing as good, only has 2 new leaves and they are a lot smaller than the other plant's new leaves. It's getting just as much light but there are more plants around it than the other one has. This one has also had all it's leaves melt away leaving only steams.

ok here is a pic of the new leaves...can't see the 3rd leaf too well but it's there!
