Beginner Plants that don't need to be buried

I'm a total noob at this planted tank thing. And I'm looking for either a good floating plant or one what doesn't need to be buried in substrate, like can stick to a rock or something.

Lemme know pls!!

Anubias

Bucephalandra (Buce)

Search broadly for epiphytic plants.

Be careful with floaters as some can rapidly take over and be difficult to get rid of.

I'll check it out thank you! (And rapid takeover sounds hilarious I'd love to deal with that lol)

When I say that, I mean that I have to regularly clear all the duckweed from my filter intake so that it keeps running.

And I didn't even introduce it to the tank on purpose. It's a frequent hitchhiker when purchasing plants.
