I have two tanks that I have made driftwood bonsai trees using weeping moss. They are doing really well but the unfortunate side effect of the great looking tree canopy is a shadowy area under the trees. I have some marsilea minuta and a little of a similar plant that I am in the "waiting to spread and grow stage". What of the marsilea minuta bunches that is in the lit area is doing well and has had new sprouts several times, but the parts in the shadowy area just seem to be not dying and that's about it.
I have looked up low light plants several times but most are better when attached to driftwood or would grow too tall to be under the trees. I have some java moss in my third tank and it seems to collect all the junk in the aquarium and looks dirty all the time so I do not want to use that. So I hoped someone else has ran into this problem and could suggest some plants to use.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
Oh, I have a DIY CO2 system that I am not using again till I get more plants in the aquariums. Right now I only have the weeping moss trees and the marsilea minuta, once I get the carpet plant issue sorted, I plan to add some swords to the background and maybe a small anubias cluster.
