How big will crypt undulata get?

Just curious if anyone has grown undulata bigger than 6 inches before? This is my first post and it's on my iPod so bare with me. I ordered two mother plants from MIkeswetpets on eBay. They were potted in wool. I removed the plant from the pot and burried it in my 55 planted aquarium. I am currently doing the Dustin dirt method with success. So far no crypt wasting yet, but I will keep my fingers crossed. Should I run Co2? Tank has been planted since last November and I have light fish load. Do crypts even need c02? Lighting is medium t5. I'll post pics to the post when I get home. Also has anyone ever ordered fish from the bailey brother at aquariumfish.net or listened to pet fish talk on iTunes. Hope to interact with all of the members real soon.

All plants use co2. Do they need injected co2 to survive? perhaps not.

If you want your plants to thrive, co2 is an important part of that.

The size a crypt grows largely depends on light. In lowlight they will stay small, and spend more resources growing new side shoot plants. In intense light they will grow much larger, with huge leaves.
