Regularly trim and prune the plants, and consider using root tabs or liquid fertilizers to supplement their growth.
Sand and gravel generally lack nutrients and water retention capacity necessary for plants to grow. Additionally, the loose structure of sand and gravel can prevent roots from establishing a strong foundation for plants to grow effectively.

To plant aquarium plants in gravel effectively, follow these steps: Prepare the gravel by rinsing it thoroughly to remove any debris or dirt. Create small holes in the gravel using your fingers or a planting tool. Gently place the roots of the plant into the hole and cover them with gravel.

Yes, plants can grow in gravel, though not well. If you try to grow many plants in gravel as soil a couple may grow tall but most will not grow at all. So, it is possible, but not a good idea. I did a science experiment at school growing plants in different types of soil, and gravel did the worst quantity-wise, but a couple did grow almost as tall as the ones grown in more common soils.
The water plants have cells. Plants live. Rocks are not alive.
