Myriophyllum sp. 'Guyana' grows quickly and benefits from regular trimming to maintain a full, bushy appearance. Plant trimmed tops back into the substrate to propagate and fill out your scape.  

HC Cuba demands high lighting, consistent CO₂ injection, and a nutrient-rich fine substrate to carpet successfully

Alternanthera rosaefolia demands high lighting to maintain its vivid red and pink colouration — under lower light it will revert to a more greenish hue. CO₂ injection and a comprehensive fertiliser regime including iron will significantly enhance colour intensity and growth rate.

Juncus repens is one of the easier stem plants to keep, tolerating a wide range of conditions. It grows quickly under good lighting and benefits from regular trimming to maintain a tidy shape.

Plant in small clumps spaced 1–2 cm apart directly into a nutrient-rich substrate. Medium to high lighting and CO₂ injection will significantly speed up spreading and help achieve a dense carpet.

Plant in small clumps spaced 1–2 cm apart to encourage even spreading. Good substrate, medium-to-high lighting, and CO₂ injection will significantly speed up carpeting. Regular trimming keeps the lawn dense and prevents shading of lower growth.
