Healthy and thriving

This is my first carpeting plant. I do run CO2 so keep that in mind when reading my experience. I split the bunches up in to quite a few smaller ones. I had read that 5 blades was a good minimum when doing this so I aimed a bit higher. All the bunches seem to be thriving. I have lost some blades into the tank either from the water flow or fish digging around. But overall they seem to be very healthy and I see new blades sprouting up nearby many of the original bunches which means they are starting to carpet as intended. Very happy with this purchase.

I might need co2

This carpeting plant is doing honestly very well in my tank considering it really needs co2 to flourish. I love how it’s slowly taking over any open space it can find. It makes me happy that even in the winter months I can still cut grass lol.
