the second plant is creeping jenny best I can tell by the picture, might just need time, once it warms up it will get going.


I have had the purple plant, trying to recall the name

I dont know what it is either, but if it is a grass, I would raise it up, so that the top of the gravel in the pot is just damp, and once the plant is doing well, then play with depth if you want it lower. I only have a few grasses, and JUST have their feet in the water. I dont know what is correct, but mine are doing well like this.

my grasses are feet wet too, keep the crown above water. They grow well that way
