That's why it's necessary to trim HC, to allow light to reach the lower leaves.
Video: HC detaching from substrate
I just took a video of how my entire lush HC carpet is in the process of detaching from my substrate, as described in this thread.
I'm going to tear it up this weekend and put in a glosso one instead. Hopefully that will prove more robust (especially with more frequent trimmings; boy I learned that lesson!).
Anyway, this video is just meant to serve as a document of the phenomenon and a sort of warning for others.
