In a higher light tank, this plant may not be ideal planted in the substrate... it just grows too fast. It is quite easy to trim, however. I have had great success just letting it float.

I grow Brazilian Pennywort in high and low light, with or without co2, and it's always been a very fast grower. I hear this plant is considered a "nitrate sucker".
