Chris don't you know that only the expensive stuff will grow :`)
I've had it given to me on a couple of occasions now and neither time
have I managed to get it established. That is except the floating
piece in a poorly lit tank with fish that like to nibble on it <G>.
The damn stuff in my laterite substrated, expensively lit, CO2
injected plants tanks seems to fade away. Go figure.

Good luck and don't to forget to throw some in a junk tank.
