The Azolla fern is a great floating plant that multiplies fast. It takes up nutrients from the water, assuring no algae blooms or nitrate spikes!

I think this is one of favorite aquarium plants. Extremely cool, and easy to care of. They turn more red, if they have intense light.
Great pond plants, aswell.

Stem plants
These plants can be pushed down in your substrate and will root in it. Stem plants are also very easy to take cuttings from.
The “Pink Sunset” is a much more vibrant plant than the regular reineckii. It will need ligth to live up to its full potential, so place it somewhere the light can shine on it.
Alternanthera Reineckii Pink Sunset
Hardy stem plant with delicate pink-green leaves.
Hygrophila Triflora
Rhizomes/Bulbs/Epiphytes/Other
These plants don´t want to be buried in the substrate. Bulbs should be placed on the substrate, so they can shoot their roots down, while rhizomes and epiphytes can be fastened to a rock or a piece of driftwood.
The tiger lotus is a fast growing plant, which leaves emerge from a small bulb. They come in multiple colours, and require little beside a substrate to grow into.

This anubias is very easy to care for. It thrives in shadow, and is fairly slow growing.
The round leaves makes it different from other anubias, and makes it a cute little find.

These “moss” balls are actually an algae, but dont worry, they wont harm your aquarium. They dont spread, and grow slowly.
They are almost impossible to kill, and they make a great home for small critters and microorganisms in you aquarium. I see my fish nibble at them often.
