    Yup. Saw it with my own eyes at East Ocean. They sow the seeds and bam 3-5 days fully carpeted. Amazing and fast way to carpet it. Will try it once my guppy tank decommission. I already bought 1 bot / $5.

    Re: easy carpet plant seeds

    I'm also keen on trying out those carpet seeds too... for those who have planted those carpet seeds, do post updates on how long the plants can last after they are flooded.

    If they can continue growing submersed without issues, these can be a quick way to grow a carpet.

    Re: easy carpet plant seeds

    I actually got to see the actual ones at East Ocean (they grew out a batch in glass bowl with only sand substrate, and flooded it for a few days), it does looks like a super tiny version of HC. The roots are very shallow and fine, like only a few millimeters into the substrate.

    Unfortunately no more stock when i was there, have to wait for new stock to arrive. It would be good to find out exactly what type of plant species those are.

    Re: easy carpet plant seeds

    Dont so gan jiong. Look at the carpet first... the leaves are huge... if those who are ok with it then buy. Got to see how big it will grow. Relax wait till the lfs post what it looks like after a month then decide.

    Re: easy carpet plant seeds

    Not 1 mth yet. I live very near east ocean and frequent it often. If u guys want just buy a little bit to start off and see if u like it or not. Some ppl might not like the big leaves and prefer something smaller like HC

    Cheers
