The red plant in the centre is Alternanthera Reineckii. Your moss looks "burnt", either by the higher temperature change or high fertilizers dosage. Nevermind that, just maintain your routine and monitor.
Uproot my surviving rotala hra replant in front Abit . HC starting to dense forget the name of the red plant. Added a pot of hygrophila and heteranthera. Hope all goes well until lockdown over. My Moss on the wood is a failure . I super glue it and think it died.

Thanks bro. I going to maintain . Once tank settled down and mature then I remove the wood to redo. For now just let the plants grow.

An final update. HC now carpet very well. First time I have such success in HC. The rest of the plants also look healthy. Thanks to all the advise.

What a journey! Congrats!
I believe co2 is the key factor. There is a moment where it kick start and it grow non stop from there

Yes, I too agree about CO2 is key. Due to my tank setup, CO2 injection alone is not enough because I chose a 2.5ft high tank that is 2ftx2ft by width and length.
Took me a year to figure out without over dosing CO2. Tried all types of injection methods but seems the 2.5ft height was the issue. Place a couple of powerhead to provide enough circulation but to no effect.
Finally regularly timed CO2 fertilization via CO2 tank/diffuser method and Excel dosing did the trick. Able to grow the most challenging of plants with minimal to undetectable algae. The Excel dosing via dosing pump helps to supplement the CO2 while it's active ingredient kills most algae.
Poor growth and algae infestation is always due to the plants not able to uptake fert for "maximum" photosynthesis and growth because CO2 is the limiting factor causing algae to consume excess nutrient and at times excess light source.
Seachem flourish is nutrient. Seachem flourish excel is liquid "CO2".
Dosing pump I use is Jebao DP4.
Thanks for sharing. I'm inspired to try something! Hope to achieve something this nice.
Try plant as dense as you can. Water change discipline and select right plants.
