Planting Tips
For the best carpet effect, carefully separate the plant into small clumps and plant them a few centimetres apart across the substrate. Keep the planting area reasonably open so taller plants do not block too much light. As the plant establishes, new runners will spread between the individual clumps and gradually fill the gaps.
