How often do you put the tabs in the substrate next to the roots?

IME, Java fresh won’t readily accept root tabs. I didn’t give mine a single root tab in 2 years, and it’s almost quadrupled in size.

it is floating right now....
ill plannt it.

I have found that pogostemon stellata ''octopus'' is a very fast growing and easy plant to keep.

@Sgooosh
Why not Bolbitis "african (Congo) water fern" heudelotii ? Beautiful dark green when submerged, need in light low or high. Do not burry its rhizome or attach it on root (same way as Anubias).

 

[Avel1896]

You can also play on the many different Anubias leaf shapes (and sizes). Or long wawy leaves of Echinodorus vesuvius.

I started it in a high tech, high light tank until it got waaayyy out of hand, at which point I planted it in a low tech, medium light 120 gal SA community, where it is thriving with a root tab once a month, per plant.

[Avel1896]

weird lookin plant.
is it a crypt?

Mmm no, it is a Crinum (calamistratum or natans) no particuliar need. Incredible shape. I recommand to convolute it around spiderroots.
Aponogeton fenestralis is easy to care, madagascariensis less easy. Both are beautiful

If you go with the lace plant (Aponogeton fenestralis) there are different varieties. Why is this important - some have narrow leaves (1/4 to 1/2 inch) that are maybe 6 to 8 inches long others have wide leaves more than 4 inches wide and over 20 inches long and all sorts in between. I made the mistake of thinking they were all the same so i had a small one in my 29 and added another on the other side of the tank that well basically covered the entire tank.
