I dont have much knowledge on this plant yet ballon fish. I just got a package today and used about half and figured i better get rid of them before its to late or else they will just be floating in my tank for a while.
The guy i ordered them from grows them in this setup - 65g AGA: Pimp# 44: Eheim 2224,2213; CLTT UV; 3 wpg PC, pressurized CO2 (georgiadawgger on PT) and to quote him :
"Oh, plant it like glosso...spread them out a bit and give it some time to fill-in-the-gaps. It's nowhere near as uncontrollable as glosso though and it stays pretty compact and low to the substrate."
So its similiar to glosso but not so fast and uncontrollable. But i just read that they dont do so well in this hot weather so if anyone wants what i got left ill let it go for $5 shipped. But no guarantees it wont spoil in the weather. I just dont have enough experience with the plant to judge much yet.

ok well i'm looking for something that carpets as quick as glosso and i still have some glosso but its just there isn't so much info on this plant so i thought i'd ask some questions 
. The $5 sounds like a good deal and if i had room i would take it but a 20g is realy limited on space, maybe next time when you have to clip some off

I am looking for something that will provide ground cover. It would go nicely with my new theme. I don't really understand all the terminology originally used to describe the growers setup, so can you break that down for a newbie. I understand the 3 WattsPerGallon though. I am just not familiar at all with CO2 or that kind of setup.
