Four Leaf Clover - Marsilea Quadrifolia

This site is selling Marsilea Quadrifolia and saying that it will do well in medium to low light conditions. Could that be right? If so, I want some!

Yes it does well in medium and lowlight. In low light it will grow taller and won't be close to the substrate.

It grows very slow in those conditions, so be prepared.

A similar plant, Marsilea minuta is smaller and grows closer to the substrate, but is still slow growing.

If you end up picking some up plesae let me know how it goes. As you know I too have been looking for a good carpet as well.

Again, it only makes a carpet when under bright light. ( and not much pf a carpet anyway )
If it wants more light, it grows much taller in an effort to get some, which ruins it's look.

Well at this point I'm looking for anything that looks good that will grow in low/medium light so the request still stands.
