Thanks guys. So I wonder, this mean that its easy to keep right?

Does it cost expensive? Mike, where can I get it? Or do you have it or not?

Easy? More like low maintenance to me due to slower growth, no regular trimming, no need much ferts etc. But still have to maintain, no plant food, plants die, ample CO2, not to say low CO2, else algae will come visit..

.

Some low light plants do much better in high light though, plants like Bolbitis, Crypt,...just my 0.0002 cents

No matter is stem plants or low maintenance plants. As long as with correct amount of CO2 and lighting + low temperature. All of them will grow nicer than inside a tank without proper lighting, co2 and temperature.

Thanks for all the response. The reason I m asking this question is because I m looking for "taugh" plant, which does not die easily or grow very fast in low light, low Co2 and min fert.
