I think for the short term, I'm going to get a shot glass or some small
container and put sand in those for the stem plants.. as I don't think
i'll
be able to hold them in the gravel I have in the tank unless I weigh each
stem down (too much work!)

I read a post from someone, somewhere who suggested knocking the bottom out
of a small red clay fired pot and using it as a "containment ring". If you
were really handy, you could cut it down to the appropriate depth. I don't
know what kind of saw that would require.
