Planting shaving brushes...

[Pea-brain]

Hey. I have some shaving brush plants that I got from a Florida supplier as a replacement for other livestock (AKA I didn't order them ) My lighting isn't very high so they probably won't survive, but I've got to try. I put them in the sand (2-3.5" oolitic aragonite) but every morning I wake up to find them on their sides, probly from snails climbing on them or something during the night. Do you have any tips on keeping them upright, or any tips on shaving brushes in general? Thanks.

I would just try planting them deeper, if you can. They are very likely to die back anyway, but will spread under the sand and produce new plants (assuming they like your light).
