Steps


  1. Fill a clear bowl with gravel and shells.

  2. Dig in the Dwarf Hair Grass in a smaller bowl and add the Dutch Rush and Hornwort into the main bowl. Wedge them in the gravel so that they sit upright,

  3. Add rainwater or distilled water.

Maintenance


Try not to place the bowl in direct sunlight as it could turn green, it needs only 4-6 hours of sunlight per day.


You could add a slow-release fertilizer pellet or a liquid fertilizer. Just be aware that colored fertilizers will also discolor the water.
