It will grow with just Excel, but will do better with co2.

I grow it with and without CO2. I don't use excel. In my lowlight/tech tank with no CO2 it does well but growth is slower. In my high light/tech it grew crazy thick and and I had to mow it every 2-3 weeks.

I usually takes 3-5 weeks to acclimate then starts spreading. The how many weeks to get a carpet depends on how much you planted, how you planted it, how far apart it is, and your quantity/balance of light, carbon sources, and macro/micro nutrients.

I have a pressurized c02system. I use the seachem full line ferts. I do a modified version of dosing not the light version of recommend daily dose. I have 2 T5 HO lights and high quality substrate. the plugs hardly grow but and defiantly no spreading.

This was one of my first plants for my tank and I had five pots and I just pulled some rockwool off that didn't have grass in it and stuck it in the substrate and it grows and looks decent enough, but did not spread very good. 65w PC 29g DIY CO2. So I would recommend what others are saying about splitting it up.

I planted around six or seven weeks ago. All but one little patch has died off. All other pants are doing great.
Growth is so fast.
