If we are talking about the amazon frogbit, mine started multiplying quite quickly. I got 2 pots and now my 180L tank is covered with them, and I also have used some of them in a back up tank.

Ah so maybe I don’t need any more the they should multiply?
They should multiply, we can see what other's say about the ring etc.
Frogbit grows very fast under the right conditions. You don't need to buy additional pots.
The plants in the ring look as though they are tangled up together. Did you separate the individual plants?
Frogbit won't stay in the small ring, it will take over. I regularly threw handfuls away when I had frogbit. This grew from one pot, the surface of this tank is 107 x 45 cm.

I didn’t no I just took it out the put and put it in whole, is that wrong
If you want them to float properly, each individual plant needs to be separated from the clump and put onto the water surface. They'll quickly cover the tank, 1 plant deep, then if they aren't thinned out they'll grow several cm deep which blocks the light from the lower plants. I had to throw away handfuls almost every week to make sure there was some exposed water surface.
I have red root floater now and that grows as fast as the frogbit did. I have to throw away handfuls of that weekly as well.

Ok maybe I will take them back out and separate them
Do you think I need any more plants in or do you think that looks about as much as I need on the bottom
