Easiest plant to plant in the substrate: Amazon sword, but you need to pick a shorter variety for a 10 gallon.
Something like Amazon swords, rosette swords, banana plants, and floaters like water lettuce are quite simple to care for although Amazon swords will grow huge and will need pruning.
Amazon swords have been easy ime and they send out new baby plants too 🥹

I just purchased one today and I'm honestly kicking myself for planting 3 star jasmine along where I could've just planted one of these bad boys!
Parent context: question-does it damage the fence at all? i was considering starting some along a fence line to cover up my neighbor’s dog 💩smell- but it’s my neighbors fence and i didn’t want it to end up getting damaged (more than it already is) Reply: For reference, her fence was a white wooden fence and it held up with the weight and pressure of the vine.
As a letter carrier and a gardener, I love the jasmine and would be so happy to see it so long as it doesn't get out of control.
It’s so pretty and smells so good when it blooms. A few years ago I was able to grow some from seeds from that house and have a whole new one starting along the fence
Star jasmine has taken over my mailbox. Love that smell.
