When it comes to plotting the landscape it makes more sense to me that each landscape cell is the space that 1 plant needs. If there can only be 1 plant per cell it's easy to show how dispersal and population growth occur on the landscape without overplotting individuals in the squares. However, there's no point in cloning if all your clones get wiped out by K = 1 because they are in the same landscape cell.

So,

They'll be successful if they randomly choose an uninhabited square. Or if their size gives them an advantage over their competition during population control.
