I would plant them individualy, mine grow large fast and wille ventualy multiply anyways.

I would plant them in very loose bunches. You don't want to plant them too closely because they will spread and fill out, but if they are roughly grouped I think it looks better.

Agreed, my Red Wendtii went through some growing pains, but it really took off and is taking over 1/2 of the bottom of my 20-inch wide tank. I'm giving it about 8 inches to the nearest plant....which is, luckily, java fern. I keep shoving the java farther and farther away.
