Possible to grow carpet grass in low-tech tank?

[gid]

Hi all, is it possible to grow dwarf capet grass in a low tech tank?

My tank is 4.2G with 16 watt of light. No co2. Advanced HELP soil. And dosing flourish and some dymax ferts.

I dont need it to carpet all over. Just thinking of growing some around the rocks for accent.

Maybe you can try e tennellus... Glosso might help if your light is strong enough...

I already have e tennelus in my tank, but I'm thinking of replacing it with dwarf carpet cos the tennelus looks too 'coarse' and tall. And my leave are turning purple red, think it's bcos of the high light. I prefer all green.

Glosso is a good idea, but where to buy? I have never seen it in c328 n yishun, or maybe I just can't recognize it when it's packaged for sale.

try glosso .. give it longer and stronger light
i had no luck crawling carpet hairgrass at low tec

you can try seaview comes emmersed , packaged usually same as HC

The other place you can try is pet mart... Y618 and c328 you can tell them to order and can pick up the next day... Usually they will come in pot... To plant it you need to plant it plantlet by plantlet to archive result...

Try this plant: Marsilea hirsuta. Low maintenance. Don't need high lighting and CO2 injection and no fertilizer required. This plant can creep like glosso.

Most of the LFS is selling, you can try seaview, petmart and C328. The plant is label on the plastic cup.

Ok cool, because my HC does not root well, i think i might have to change?
What do you guys suggest? My HC is growing well, i can see the leaves growing upwards but not rooting..
Any suggestion?

Not enough light that's why the plant are growing upwards for the light...
