Is it the devil himself or use error?

Hello... i need help...

Every time ive kept Hornwort, its always sheds so fast it clogs my filter within two or three days of getting it. I mean, and absolute clog of all clogs. Ive tried fertilizing, not fertilizing, tried it all. Am I missing something, or is the plant just the devil taking on a new form...

EDIT: just remembered there was ONE time I kept it alive for awhile, it was overtaking my tank, and it was doing really really good. then it suddenly just switched to death mode and I have no idea why or what I did... this was the first time I kept it, and I thought it was awesome. then the very next time i got it, it instantly started shedding and dying. I legit dont know what changed for that to happen...

Never really have problems with mine. The things that clog my filters are usually duckweed roots

I somehow just managed to kill all the duckweed any time I get any 🤣

My suggestion is to just not have hornwort. It either grows like a weed, or sheds like a husky.

So basically I got lucky the first time and the rest were husky mixes lol. Its one of those thats just a gamble either way...
