Carpeting Plants In Gravel = Cautiously Optimistic!

[Primous]

Frustration!

At one point or another I have tried almost all of the carpeting plants out there and each time have failed to achieve the carpeting look. I have a pressurized co2 setup running at 1bps and every plant I have is doing really well. But the much desired carpet remains illusive.

Sagittaria Subulata is perhaps my last stab at this. I received a bunch today...

I'm wondering if you guys have any tips?

Spread them very evenly over the space you want to cover, make sure there is enough substrate for them to root well and make sure they get enough flow.

Most carpet plants root systems will entwine helping to keep them together as a carpet, good luck.
