regarding hairgrass

[chippy_daryl]

hi bros, i have a question regarding hairgrass. those that tie to a mesh tray. just bough one for my planted tank. i just put it down to my tank. question is do the mesh tray need to be underneath the soil? because i just put it down and press it gently. not deep inside. cause i scare pressing too hard will kill the grass. but i see alot of roots of the hair grass. is it ok? will the roots slowly grow into the soil? or do i have to press it down till the white parts and roots is underneath the soil?

hair grass dont need mesh. just plant the roots into the soil deep enough and it will take care of itself.

Bro, harigrass are sold in tub form instead of mesh type.
Mind sharing a pic to see and to confirm whether its hairgrass.

As I just bought a small KFC tub for $13, so I'm pretty sure its not in mesh form.
Thanks

Indeed there is hairgrass tied on mesh and also, lava rocks. They are commonly sold at C328. With regards to planting or simply shoving the mesh/rock into the substrate, I think experimenting and giving feedback here will be to the benefit of all planted enthusiasts. The ones tied on lava rocks may function as somewhat a wabikusa.
