okay, i am a plant noob and i need to know which of these are the easier/hardy plant in plain gravel no CO2 environment. (with only occasional fert)

Stargrass
valisnera spiralis
Limnophila sessiflora
sagitaria subulata

yea... so if anyone knows please let me know.
Thanks a bunch
 
i have some saggitaria in my fry tank. I had a re-scape and it was left over. the tank has an 11w light on for only a few hours per day and some indirect sunlight. Its growing slowly but looking well, its even got a runner coming off! So i'd recommend that for you.

I havnt had any vallis in a low light tank, but its a hard thing to kill and worth a try. Tropica ino says it will grow in low light

goto http://www.tropica.com/default.asp for further plant info
 
i moved some cutting of these from my high tec into a low tec and found the vallis will grow fine and the limnophila will just grow abit slower in low light, my star grass didn't like it at all.

I've found valis to be a good low tech plant, not had any luck with stargrass unless there are reasonable levels of ferts
 
Vallis gorws very well in my gravel substrate tank, and the sagittaria has only started growing now that the debris (I have an undergravel filter) have accumulated enough to form sufficient nutrients at the at the rootbase of the sagittaria. You could think of adding some roottabs for the sagittaria.....
