I recently purchased 4 pots of clover and need to know the best way of removing them from the pots and medium they are in and the best way to go about planting them into the substrate. I have white sand on top of flourite as a substrate.

thanks for any advice

i have no personel experience with clover but i would imagine it's simillar to glosso and HC. if so just remove all plants and roots from the pot and rock wool, seperate into seperate plantlets (probably loads!). then plant individual plantlets in the substrate deep enough to touch the flourite. i use large tweezers when planting glosso, this makes it a little easier.

if you take the time to plant in this way you should be able to create a compact carpeting effect given ample lighting and co2.

just googled it and found this

if thats what you have then they say the same thing.
 
Hi and thanks Jim

Yep thats what I got . CLOVER, FOUR LEAF (Marsilea quadrifolia).
I really wanted the dwarf hairgrass but the were out of stock I will break out the tweeers today. I just left them in the pots overnight last night in the tank. Will be setting my co2 back up this afternoon. Had to start over after moving to a new house. I have a jbj formossa ss 2 x 65 fixture and use the diy yeast injection with a powered reactor chamber. 29 gal long with h.o.t. magnum filter and currently only 4 red tail plattys in the tank. its 3 months old now :)

will include pics as the tank settles in more and the plants start to develop.

Thanks again !
