Hemianthus callitrichoides

The start looked promising and I thought I might actually grow a carpet.
Its still alive, but its not very compact, and growing slightly upward. Again a light issue?

I will defiantly try it again, but this time growing it on wood or sponge first.

Hemianthus callitrichoides is one of the smallest aquarium plants in the world, and creeps over the bottom with millimetre-sized round leaves. If planted in small clumps a few centimetres apart, it will spread rapidly and cover the bottom like a carpet. Hemianthus callitrichoides is an attractive foreground plant for small aquariums, and makes few demands. Found on Cuba west of Havana.
