Without it, most carpet species will grow taller and sparser rather than forming a mat."}}, {"@type":"Question","name":"How should I plant carpet plants for the best coverage?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Plant small portions spaced a few centimetres apart rather than one dense clump — this encourages horizontal spreading to fill gaps naturally."}}, {"@type":"Question","name":"Why is my carpet growing patchy?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Uneven light, uneven substrate, or algae outcompeting the plant in the early establishing weeks are the most common causes."}}, {"@type":"Question","name":"Can carpeting plants grow without a true carpet effect?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Most carpeting species will grow taller and less dense in lower light instead of dying, so there's flexibility even in a less demanding setup."}} ]}
