not sure, but plants in general i would think you need some CO2, and good lighting.

I dose the tank with a start up amount of Aquarium Science Plant Food and no more unless I do a huge water change.
Plants like Amazon swords are pretty easy to keep. Good lighting plays a pretty impotant role in keeping them healthy.

I dont actually do anything special in regards to water parramaters and mine do quite fine.
