How to plant Hornwort ?

My Anacharis is doing horrible right now. All the other plants in my tank are faring much better for some reason.

I'm having a similar problem planting Moneywort. Just about every day one slips out of the gravel, some slipped right out of their weights. I can't seem to hold them any tighter without crushing the stems.
