Growing DHG as a floater temporarily

[Aqua Hero]

So I got ALOT of dwarf hairgrass from a mate but I didn't want to plant it in my substrate because Im going to rescape it soon.

Right not I have it semi floating ish. After a week a few leaves are turning yellow.

Is this due to lack of nutrients in the water or the fact that the grass isn't in soil?

This is what I mean by semi floating. These were taken before the leaves started to go yellow

Well lets be honest... for most of us, it is pretty difficult to grow plants under the best conditions we can offer!
Your plants have had a pretty tough time, they were happily growing in an environment they had time to adjust too & were then uprooted & stuck in you tank in far from ideal conditions!!
If you want to keep them healthy (perhaps a challenge now) maybe consider a propagator?
They will still die back but should return to health & then you can plant them at your leisure.

Well that sounds great. I think tomorrow I will separate the grass and plant in the aqua soil temporarily
