I couldn’t do it

I definitely couldn’t grow this successfully, even with in line CO2, the hygger light on 24 hour timer for max daily light, micro and macro ferts, and aqua soil. I’m not mad about it though because everything else in my red plant tank is growing well. It would appear I just don’t have the advanced red thumb. I’ll try again when I move this summer and have a chance to set up a bigger red plant tank.
