I usually bring java moss to the meetings.

I have found that some of the amazon sword, madagascar lace plant, and crypts are also very easy to keep under a variety of conditions.

Plants are regularly given away at the monthly meetings. If I know in advance you will be there I will bring some plant cuttings including anubias.

I mentioned it elsewhere but will put it here too.

Kitty litter unscented 1 inch and 1.5 inches of gravel.

Lights at 2 watts a gallon and you can pretty much grow most plants.

Regular aquarium lights are way underpowered to grow plants.

You might try looking at this web site:

They have a nice Plant Finder feature with lots of plant profiles.

I occasionally bring plants to the meetings to give away.

So many easy plants;

Lets not forget the sagitaria and valisnaria;

My biotope uses those types of grasses and onion plants with amazon swords.

This is my best looking tank right now and I suck at aquascaping;
