Trimming hemianthus callitrichoides

[taz]

Hi,

Can I trim this plant flat like hair grass? Mine seems to get bushy and very slow on spreading. Mines a 1.5ft tank and with 18x2 PL lighting. Does it need high light to get it spreading flat? Thks....

If I remember correctly what the guys at Tropica booth (aquarama) shared, HC is a stem plants which tends to grow upwards instead of horizontal.

Cut and replant could be a faster way if you want more grounds covered.

Thanks for your advice. I will take your method.
