I just purchased a beautiful rosaefolia. Very full and a bright red color. I've read that they require high light while other sources say they only need moderate light.
Regardless, I have a feeling that the bulb in my tank is not strong enough. It is a 14 watt fluorescent light that is 15 inches in length, for an 8 gallon tank. I usually keep the light on for at least 12 hours a day.
Is this enough to keep the plant bright red and in good condition?
