Hairgrass

[The boring name]

Ok so I got some hair grass how do u plant it, and how does it spread into carpet also the brown things on the plant are these the runners?

 

[Rivercats]

You plant it in small 1/2" sized clumps about an inch apart and in a checkerboard pattern. Without a picture I'm not sure what brown things your talking about. Also what type lighting and bulbs do you have as DHG needs high light, CO2 or liquid carbon, and a good fertilizing regime.

Thanks for responding rivercats I have 3 watts per gallon tank is 10 gals I'm just starting to plant, I'm using 2 DIY co2 (works pretty good) using seachem exeal all my plants are doing good also how does this plant spread

 

[Rivercats]

The watts per gallon rule is really obsolute that is why I asked the type of lighting and bulbs. It will spread by runners and root as it spreads.

Ok so the lighting is a t5 sunglow I believe they are also very tall can I trim them and if so how close to the substrate I just got them today and do u plant them root down like a reg. plant. Thanks rivercats

 

[Rivercats]

Yes you plant them root down and they can be trimmed to a good height but before trimming I'd let them adjust and root into the substrate.

Would u say they spread pretty fast.

 

[Rivercats]

Depends on each tanks set up but it can spread fast under optiminal conditions.
