Top carpet plants | #EasytoGrowCarpetPlants | With no co2
1. #DwarfSag (Sagittaria Subulata)
Growth rate: fast
Max height: 12 inches (30 centimeters)
Light demands: moderate-high
CO2: not required but appreciated
Difficulty: easy
I put this species first because dwarf sag is very beginner friendly. It's really tough and will gladly spread along the bottom of the tank by putting out runners.
You'll see this again and again with carpeting plants, especially ones that prefer moderate to high light levels. If the light isn't bright enough, they'll just grow taller trying to reach the light.
This can really mess up the aesthetic and turn a carpet into a tangled mess.
Dwarf sag also prefers a nutrient rich plant substrate.
Pros:
-Hardy plant that will spread through runners, if given the right conditions.
-Can tolerate a lot of different water parameters and temperatures.
Cons:
-Might grow taller and be more sparse if light levels are not high enough.
2. #DwarfChainSwords (Echinodorus Tenellus)
Growth rate: fast
Max height: 4 inches (10 centimeters)
Light demands: moderate-high
CO2: not required but appreciated
Difficulty: easy
The needs of this species are very similar to dwarf sag. It prefers a nutrient rich plant substrate and moderate to high lighting. It will spread itself across the bottom by putting out runners.
It does grow a thicker, more dense carpet than dwarf sag, which resembles a seriously overgrown lawn.
Pros:
-Undemanding plant that grows a thick carpet.
-Quickly spreads across the bottom of the tank.
Cons:
-Does want higher lighting or it won't spread.
3. #MarsileaHirsuta
Growth rate: medium
Max height: 8 inches (20 centimeters)
Light demands: low
CO2: appreciated but not required
Difficulty: easy
This is a close cousin to dwarf water clover, but it's a little easier to care for. Once it settles in, it may put out leaves with 1-4 lobes. It spreads runners across the tank floor and propagates itself.
Of course, it will grow faster with CO2 and regular fertilization, but it's not absolutely required.
But it grows faster than dwarf water clover, and is less finicky, so it may be a better choice for beginners.
Pros:
-Grows faster than dwarf water clover.
-Can grow leaves that look like four leaf clovers.
Cons:
-May not stay as an even carpet in lower light.
4. #SRepens (#StaurogyneRepens)
Growth rate: slow
Max height: 4 inches (10 centimeters)
Light demands: medium-high
CO2: appreciated but not required
Difficulty: moderate
S. repens is a really cool looking carpet plant with stiff stems that sprout pointed leaves. The leaf shape always reminds me of tiny Amazon sword leaves.
Or, you know, maybe some friends want it for their tanks.
The only real downside to this plant is that is a slow grower.
Pros:
-Hardy and forgiving.
-Can be grown in a low-tech tank.
-Has a unique look with its clusters of small, pointed leaves.
Cons:
-Slow growing.
-Requires trimming to maintain carpeted look.
5. #MonteCarlo (Micranthemum Tweediei)
Growth rate: medium
Max height: 2 inches (5 centimeters)
Light demands: medium-high
CO2: medium
Difficulty: moderate
Monte Carlo is one of my favorite carpeting plants. It's a bit newer in the trade and I've always liked the look of multiple round leaves along the stems.
It will easily carpet if it has enough light and CO2.
Otherwise, it will keep trying to grow up instead of along the substrate. It's possible to get it to carpet in a low tech tank, but it takes a lot longer.
Pros:
-A more interesting looking plant since it is multiple leaves along a stem.
-Given the right conditions, it is easy to grow and maintain.
Cons:
It takes a long time to get it to carpet in a low tech setup.
