Looking For Glosso Tips For Keeping Shorter And Thick

[phlawed]

anyone have any good tips of keeping it spreading and staying low? Everything is fine right now as far as height but i heard if some conditions are not right it will grow tall and sporadicly. right now its planted in two rows with about 2-3 little pieces each about 3" apart from each other. well any tips appreciated saw some amazing pics of this as a carpet in some tanks and the short thick carpets were to die for.

If its growing up it a sign that you don't have enought light in your tank.

Mine has started to carpet quite nicely although a couple of tall shoots are clearly visible. Strange thing with the taller strands is that there is a distinct lack of roots on these.

Just let it grow out as much as you can and trim back any shoots that start to stretch out too much - if there are roots visible then I would leave as these tend to fall over and spread in time.
