I was going to guess it does not need that much light cause that dark green color... maybe I should get some and make it like a lawn.

I don't know about the lawn part man . Not only is it going to take a while to get a nice tight lawn going, it gets moved rather easily + it's somewhat delicate; breaks easily if you you’re a tad rough with it and it kills the look IMO.

If you try I'm curious what you come up with.

true. the root structure does not seem that 'deep', and if I'm too rough around it it pops up out of the substrate. It adds a new leaf every so often but so far no runners. making a carpet would take quite a while I suspect.
