Answer 1

Ooh, Hemianthus callitrichoides (Dwarf Baby Tears) is always a challenge to plant, especially with its tiny roots... Unlike other plants, you can't simply push it into the gravel... If you are willing to sacrifice a corner of the plant, you can put a decoration or some gravel on top of it, give it time to root, and then remove the weight... I just planted mine last week, and it was a total pain (I ended up letting it attach to my driftwood)... Good luck! Contact me if you have any questions.

EDIT: In a shallow gravel bed like you have, you will not be able to fully cover the pot, and the pot will also prevent the plant from spreading along the tank floor... Carefully remove the stone wool from the roots (it took me 45 minutes to free all the roots), and do as I instructed above with weights...

Answer 2

Poke your finger into the soil/substrate, and put the plant roots into the soil/substrate. Cover all visible roots, or they'll be eaten by the fish. Feed the plants once a week after water changes plant food.

Best Answer.

Answer 3

You plant higher plants on the back and smaller plants on the front.
