Mychala Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) Needing something to cover my foreground. I pretty well had it done with dwarf hairgrass until a certain 3 year old went digging for fun, and i don't have the patience to wait that long again. Algae keeps taking over the bare area. I was thinking hydrocotyle Japan. Does this spread pretty quickly? Will it cover fairly thick? Any other tips/tricks? I'm going to say I have at least medium light, no co2.

Administrators Cory Posted October 25, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 25, 2020 Hydro coytle does spread pretty quick, but it can also grow a little tall so you might have to train it to stay low if that's what you're going after.

Mychala Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 @Cory Thanks! I do want it to stay low but I don't have any problem training it to do so. Do I just keep it trimmed short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Yup just keep trimming it to the height you want to keep it at 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDX Dave Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I bought 2 but both melted away in a couple of days and didn't recover. I have eco complete substrate and use root tabs plus Easy Green. Other plants are doing fine. Is there something I'm missing? Or are there other low-grower/carpeting plants that are hardier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
