How to secure giant hygro without roots to bottom

[NatalyVine]

we just bought this plant and I didn’t realize it had no roots! Not a single one! How can I attach it to the bottom? For now I tied it loosely with thread to a heavy shell.

In my planted aquariums i use at least 2 inches of substrate usually more. If you don't want to add more you could try making a pile of what you have around the base. The plant could also be put in a clay pot filled with substrate. This would also give you a place to give the plant fertilizer root tabs.

That’s not giant hygro. That almost looks like a sword plant. Put to keep it on the bottom Ty-rap it to a small rock.

We bought it from Big Als they said it’s a giant hygro lol but anyways I tried to also make a pile with what I have and it doesn’t stay either as you can see the bottom of the plant is just a stalk. Ok I’m going to tie them to some heavy rocks. Thanks!

Can you put up a pic of the whole plant? May be easies to identify that way. In my tanks this is giant hygro. Planter on the left
