Growing Plants Without Heater/filter?

[Proxo]

Is this possible, if so what plants? Got a small 4'ish gallon tank sitting doing nothing.
Hoping i could stick a light above it and use it to grow something, anything lol.

It's annoying me that it's just sitting there doing nothing haha, can't really afford a heater/filter for it at the moment
& they are cheap too, shows how broke i am.

never thought someone would want to have a plant tank! But i guess all life is interesting. I think your questions depends on your house temp, but if its not crazy low I dont really see why not!

Plants don't need a filter, but to keep algae away you need a large flowrate . So a powerhead or wavemaker would be ideal instead of a filter in a plant-only tank.
