Looking for very small, very light plants, nothing over 1 inch in
height or width at maturity, or very light mosses. Any and all
suggestions very welcome. Beauty is important but not necessary.
Must be able to grow these plants hydroponically in styrofoam.


There are very few plants that will fit your bill. Moss seems to me to
be the only possibility:


What about the very tiniest sedums? corsican mint? a prostrate thyme ?
a tiny lithops or cacti ? the smallest sempervivums?

The ' nothing over 1 inch in width at maturity ' is a bit of a problem -
most things that tiny tend to spread sideways eventually, at least if they
get fed.
