Does anyone know any hardy aquarium plants??
 
Java fern and anubias always do really well in my tank. Never had any problems with dead leaves.
 
I'm not a fan of java fern as it can go brown but anubias does really well even in very low-tech set ups. Vallis is a great one for providing cover at the back as it grows quite tall and propagates very easily.
 
Don't forget that both anubias and Java fern need to be attached to a piece of rock or wood, as they'll rot if planted in the substrate.

Cryptocorynes also do well in most tanks.
 
The hardy plant is one that is happy with the conditions that you're providing.

Those listed above are some of the easiest to grow, but, like fish, it's worth checking out a few care guidelines if you want them to do well.
 
Amazon sword :good: I got prob ten in my tank and they dont care what I do. My tank is low tech/light (0.4 watts/gallon)
 
some of the hygrophillia (hygrophila?) species for instance difformis, polysperma :) they are effortless and great looking too :)
 
All of the above are absalutely brilliant and are really hardy.

Cabomba is usually an easy beginner plant. Found pretty much everywhere so easy to purchase.

My suggestions are:

Java Fern (Do not plant rhizome)
Anubias (Do not plant rhizome)
cabomba caroliniana (Plant Roots)
Crypts
Java moss (attach to rocks, wood, or carpet)

:good:
