Scapexghost Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Ive been doing a lot of tanks with gravel caps over active substrates, but it seems like a lot of carpeting plants have root systems that are too shallow to take advantage of it. So, what are some carpeting plants with deeper roots?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjoma Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 From the ones I've grown so far, dwarf chain swords have the longest roots. Quote 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeQ Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 You might also want to consider some non carpet plants and trim them short so they grow low and spread out. I've read this can be done with rotala and would think this can be accomplished with pearl weed as well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
