Other information
I grow this plant both under my T5 lights and in my terrarium under LED lights. I've found that, while successful in both environments, it grows very differently.
​
Under the T5 lights it sends up a large number of small leaves, at most two inches tall and half an inch across (Third Photo).
​
Under the LED lights (with higher humidity) it sends up fewer leaves, but they are much larger (First Photo). They can reach 5 inches tall and two inches across.
