Summarized by Shop
Want a carpet you can grow without CO₂? Dwarf Sagittaria is a grass-like rosette that spreads by runner into a dense colony, with its height set by your lighting rather than by the plant. Bright light keeps it low enough for a foreground; in dimmer tanks it stretches upward and reads as midground.
