I wouldn't heavily plant the tank and leave it in a sunny area as it may get really hot(depending how sunny). You should put a small sponge filter to keep the tank clean. Good luck
Hi guys, i have a 2.2 gallon nano tank. I intend to rear a betta fish in it. But in order to do that what must I do? Can i put a sponge filter in or just an air stone? Or can i just heavily plant it and leave it in a sunny area? Thanks!

Or you can also use a small overhead filter if you find a sponge filter unsightly. If you like you can add some substrate and plants
The sponge filter, the smallest size, takes up 1/4 space of the tank. So Can I just plant plants?

You can just plant plants if you are just keeping a betta. However you will have to do frequent water changes and monitor the water quality. I am not sure how much the plants will help so i recommend you use a hang-on filter. It does not take up much space and will help with water quality.
just plant plants and do water changes 1 or 2 a week, a filter is not required for a single betta.
A small sized sponge filter or a hob filter would be good for the beneficial bacteria to grow on. Your betta will enjoy cleaner water which is especially important given your tank’s already small size.
You can consider easy plants like hornwort/anubias... try not to put in direct sunlight as the sun might heat up your small tank really fast given the small volume

yes, but i recommend in that case you get a sponge filter, a HOB creates too much current.
