I bought some Aquatic Clover (Marsilea quadrifolia) online about a month ago, and followed the directions on cutting back the emersed leaves after planted in my tank. Please see link below.

The surface of my 10gal is now covered in little baby clovers, and the "stems" are only about a half-inch long. I know it's supposed to be ground cover, but the little things are so light, they get pulled to the top. Every time I stick my hand in the tank, they scatter and I can't grab any.

Has anyone dealt with this plant, or does anyone have any tips that may help me collect these little plants and root them to the bottom? I mean, they still look good as floaters, but they're starting to steal light from the plants that need high light.
