If so I am reading conflicting info in regards to light and fert requirements? Can anyone clerfy?
 
Maybe that's why mine isnt doing anything...I have only been dosing liquid ferts and it is in a low light tank.

I have had it for months now and only see one runner that is pretty small.

well, for this plant, you would need at least a medium light with at least some nutrients. it's really not a challenging carpeting plant but you do need a good source of light.
 
They do grow SLOWLY in low light. Increased growth with increased light. In my shrimp tank it sent runners out early on but has stopped. In my med light tank it sent runners constantly. I even grow some outdoors in a small pond. Planted this last summer and it over wintered under ice and now has flowers and oval emersed leaves.

Thanks, I'm going to try and move it to my other tank.
 
Will do much better with some root tabs
