Default Can HM grow horizontally
I have finally gotten my hands on Hemianthus Micranthemoides! (From YT Lim's shop, Aquaworld if anyone's interested.) Does anyone know if HM can be grown as a ground cover like glosso?

Also would like to hear your views on the care of HM.

Cannot, they will grow tall.

If not mistaken, emersed HM will grow as a ground cover like HC.

Best you can do is to force it down with hi-light to mid level.
