Plants arrived

Got the plants.

5 patches of Java moss (far too much, I trashed two), with which I covered the fake corner stone, and 3 bunches of Ceratophyllum demersum, each stem of which has been carefully inserted in one of the many holes the stone is covered with. The idea is, since this plant easily rots if buried in the ground or clamped in any way, I let each stem as loose as possible, anchoring it simply by passing the stem through one or more holes, and let friction do the job. In some cases, both ends of the stems are floating upwards, because apparently both may grow. Let's see what happens.

Pictures soon!
