Pygmy Chain Sword Will It Grow In Low Light

[Duzzy]

Hi there,

after trying for a moss lawn and deciding it was not looking the way I wanted color wasnt what I wanted I have decided to abandon it and plant chain sword, will the chain sword grow in low light (with patience) and dino dung and co2?

will I need to break the dino dung tablets?

If it will not grow low light what else will in low light as a ground cover?

Regards Darren

1.2WPG with 2ft height......it will struggle but I wouldn't like to rule anything out. Sometimes it can be quite amazing how well plants can survive if you have the right nutrients.
