    1. difficulties to cultivate ie, light demand,fert?
    2. growth rate, will it form carpet like glosso and,
    3. if i go over to TEOs farm(for those bought APP b4), i tell them APP or Ah peh plant or Elatine triandra, cos i encounter b4, tell them the name but got the wrong plant

    you can tell him APP or elatine also can. And elatine is a harder plant to grow in my opinion, Glosso strong light and dose enough fert can liao

    a good foreground choice would be HC cos it grows slowly but it achieves the super lush look

    If you can grow glosso, app shouldn't be any problem for you. Teo has a plant catalogue on the shelves, you can show them the pic just in case
