How deep should a gravel substrate be with only artificial plants?

i generally go with 1 inch of gravel in my tanks, especially if you only have artificial plants. for my planted tanks i have a bit more, but i prefer less gravel because it's easier to maintain

The general rule is 1 pound of gravel for every gallon in the tank. My gravel (with artificial plants) is about 1.5 inches thick. Basically, enough to hold the plant down.
