Default Rhaphidophora tetrasperma

Does Rhaphidophora tetrasperma fit in a 29 gallon if well trimmed?
And how hard is it to grow?

Yes, it will grow fine and its very easy to grow at that. Seems to be a bit on the slow side but not as slow as Anubias or Philo. grazielae.

Cool, so it should be alright since it's a slow grower then.

Got any for sale antone?

The best thing I've noticed is to rip off the bottom most leaf and stick that small part of stem just barely below the substrate and then rest the remainder of the cutting on top of the substrate. Just keep it humid and try not to over spray it and it will throw roots like crazy and grow pretty well for you.
