Default Microcarpaea minima?

Mods please move this thread if inappropriate.

Hi, I am looking for information on Microcarpaea minima. There isnt much on the internet (plantgeek has a blurb) and a search here revealed an old post. I am looking for info on: light requirements, co2 requirements, optimum pH and dosing requirements, and the growth of the plant (how tall, how bushy does it get) in upper and lower bounds of the above (High light-low light, co2-no co2, etc). Thanks in advance for any information.

I had this plant once. It was a relatively undemanding stem plant. Don't let the name fool you though, it gets quite tall if you let it. You could probably grow it in a medium light tank w/ excel just fine.
