What would make it better is to have some more branches arching out on the bottom right, or to have some rings of mosses/riccia around the rock. But that's just me.
Yup, going to buy some Riccia from bro BuWaC.

Thanks for the advice.

hi there!

nice setup there! its is really nice of the impression or the visual that the branches are overhanging from the top of the rock item. (The Tree Scene)

its also an observation that the gravel is pretty fine (no fertilizer below?) and might be difficult for plants to take root. so perhaps something creative like smaller sized / similar type of rocks to break and soften the visual outline of the big rock?

great job for so much work for in such a small space constraint!

bro, perhaps you can retry hairgrass but place some root tabs underneath the gravel. i've grown my hairgrass in fine, unfertilzed soil as well

i got an idea which is to plant the whole back ground with hairgrass leaving the front portion bare.. would look quite unique

Hi bro, don't think this is possible as there's too much space constraint, only can decorate the front part, will look out for some rocks though...
