Growing brazilian pennywort submersed: is it possible?

[starlord]

Give it a shot. Found a couple of YouTube videos on it growing submerged with Co2, but I don't use that stuff - just plenty of sunlight and regular doses of ferts and micros. I did try cutting a stem, sticking the bottom in water and the top in the tank. It was a new addition, looking great, and the rock wool had nice white roots on it. Anyone had success growing it underwater long-term?
I'm not bothered about fast growers, no complaints here about pruning - I'm always hacking away at the stargrass with scissors, and it gives me a nice 2" carpet every week.

I've had some success with it, but I gotta warn you, if it's emersed when you buy it, be prepared for some die-off when you submerge it.

Your tank sounds far out. I'm digging the stargrass carpet and that red beaded curtain plant is a nice touch.

Yeah, that Stargrass does resemble shag carpeting - it's so dense it looks walkable. Comfy indeed.
You're referring to the Ludwigia with 'red bead', I presume? That's another plant I have which seems to be displaying different characteristics, I'm guessing due to the window light - it's fairly bright early in the day, then suddenly intense with 2-3 hours of direct sun.
