i cant keep mine rooted. they stay down for a week or so and then start to raise out of the flourite and then float away

what am i supposed to do?
 
I have read a good technique for getting it to stick better is to bury it deeper even covering some of the leaves. This encourages it to root faster from what I can tell.
 
i've tried burying it completely and it always seems to work its way back out. i wish i had a smaller version of chicken wire or something. lay it over like a blanket and let it grow through.
 
I've never tried it.They had some small pots of it at my local big als but looked in bad shape.The other big als I go to had HM and i have to tell you it spreads very nice.The also had some on rocks not sure if they used at net or what?
 
small plants small roots easy to up root. i think it works better with smaller gravel like ada soil. i guess is fish are up rooting them before it has a chance to hold down. maybe put some rocks around it to keep the fish away until it starts to grow in.
