    Hi
    I'm new to this hobby. I'm looking for a carpet plant with no co2, no excel, slow vertical growth and non moss plant. Non moss as i am afraid of pump choking issues. Was looking at glosso but it needs high light. Which to me means hard to grow. Wonder about ah pek plant. I'm using eco complete substrate. So rooting will be an issue but i don't mind doing dsm.
    Any advise?

    Hair grass? Only issues is that it grows tall. However trimming should tame it down.

    If you're planting HC using DSM, how long before you flood the tank?

    I saw C328 selling this 3x2 HC, can I just put it on top of the soil when doing DSM or should I separate into little clumps? Will the roots eventually dig into the soil?

    I guess at least 2 weeks. I tried mine just putting on top and it does not root itself.

    So you pushed the roots into the soil? or you just left it with the roots on top of the soil & then flooded the tank?
