Like everybody else, I've read this in many many places too. I got a
reddish/purplish plant and it died in my low-light tank within a couple
weeks.

At low light, the effect of CO2 are still great, yet many do not use
it.

I have CO2 injection in my tank, and all my other plants (anubia, java moss,
crypts, banana plants, moss ball, water sprite, vallisneria, a couple
unidentifieds and even an aponogeton bulb - still new but HUGE) do just fine
in my tank. Other than changing from normal to full spectrum fluorescent
(before I even put plants in) and trimming dead leaves, I don't do a single
thing specifically for my plants...even my CO2 injection was more for my pH
than the plants. Maybe the plant was doomed before I even took it home.
Who knows.
