Is This Goin 2 Go Really Wrong?

[ben1987]

I startged my tank with just silk plants so i didnt put anything under my gravel, then not thinking about the nutrients a plant needs to survive bought live plants to replace the fake ones. so far they have been in a couple of weeks and look fine, noticed a bit of growth too. but will they live on just liquid fert and standerd lighting? is there anything i can do to help them now the gravel is already in place?
cheers

The need for ferts, etc depends very much on the plants. Some will do fine with just a bog standard fert once a week. However, I would suggest you add some root tabs, these will help most plants, even the less demanding ones. Other than that its very difficult to say.

Have you read the pinned articles?
