I just got a java fern. Do you have to bury the roots in the gravel or leave it float like you are doing?

Its not floating, its attached to a rock with fishing string

 

[Becca3711]

oh okay. I just buried my java fern in a few centimeters of gravel. Is this okay?

As long as the rhizome(horizontal piece that the roots come out of) isn't covered that is fine, Becca.

Looks good. I've got moneywort in my 55. It was doing OK in a bunch, but really did excellent when I took them apart into individual stems, trimmed off the bottom 2 sets of leaves and stuck them in the substrate. Now each stem has 2 or 3 stems growing out of the base. They seem to grow faster as well. Probably because there is less competition between them. Few more months and it should be a veritable forest.

Good idea!
Right now I have them in the rubberband in there... my anacharis is in a bunch (i took it apart)
so...lol

Also, the plant on the far right moved to where the moneywort is, and the java moss is spread out
