Maybe not so difficult, in hindsight, but it started as two insignificant stems in the back corner of my tank. For months there was barely any growth. I thought is was going to die. And then it took off and I shared it. I then got rid of the last of it.
I think it is a great plant in an appropriately size tank. Not in a 20g long (too shallow).
