馃尶plants that actually work with no CO2

no injection, no diffuser he doesn't want to run. just light and root tabs.

01
Java fern (Microsorum pteropus)
Tie it to driftwood, don't bury the rhizome or it rots. Slowest grower here, that's the whole point.
02
Anubias barteri var. nana
03
Cryptocoryne wendtii
melts hard the first two weeks after replanting. leave it alone, it comes back thicker
04
Vallisneria spiralis
Runners everywhere within a month, thin it before it eats the back half of the tank.
05
Bacopa caroliniana
06
Java moss (Taxiphyllum barbieri)
Attaches to anything on its own in a couple weeks. Trims are basically free plants.
07
Amazon sword (Echinodorus bleheri)
08
Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum)
the one nobody lists, loose stems aren't 'aesthetic'. eats nitrates fastest, wins the algae race. (quarantine new fish), hitchhikes snails
