Hornwort as Background Plant

dont see how it wouldnt work.. when i had hornwort i used a simple plant weight to hold one end down
I have hornwort, I've tried weighting it down, but usually a piece of it comes loose and it ends up like a giant tumbleweed that takes up one end of my tank. I'm getting rid of it as soon as I find a suitable replacement. I like it for fry tanks, tired of it for display tanks.
i try and try to weight it down but it ends up breaking loose and floating. i would go with foxtail instead.
i agree you are probably going to be frustrated trying to force the hornwart to grow in one place, whatever method you choose.
In my experience hornwort does best when left alone to float around the tank.

i just held it down in the middle and it worked for me. though i just have it floating now. try some vals
I agree with what everyone has said about hornwort. I have some as a background plant for now and it does look nice, but it grows out of control and will break off....I have tons of it floating at the moment. I want to replace it with Vallisneria gigantea, but not sure how that would do with just sand.
I figured, my corkscrew vals are growing very well, just figured that giant vals would require more of a nutrient rich substrate.
