Planting Prob....

[Silva_Fishy]

I have recently replaced all my plastic plants with 1 small sword plant, 2 red/green plants(not sure what theyre) and one other(??), i've planted the OTHER one and its been okay for about 2½ hours. I wanna plant my others(pots arent the greatest look) but am not sure how. HELP

I'm confused as to what exactly you're asking.

The remaining plants are in pots and you want to take them out? You should remove the plants from pots very carefully, as you do not want to tear up the root system. From there you need to stick them in the gravel.

I apologize if this doesn't answer your question.

is there any specific rules or precautions to follow?

Just take the wool out of the pot. Very carefully start to unwrap the wool from the roots. You may find that there is more than one plant in the pot. Then take the plant just above the roots and with one of your fingers make a little hole in the gravel big enough to put the plant in. Then put the plant in and make sure that you cover the roots completely with gravel but dont cover the stem of the plant or it may rot and kill the plant. HTH

Having made a big mess in my tank trying to take dwarf hairgrass out from a pot, I should tell ya: it is easier to remove that rockwool (stuff inside the pot that surrounds the root) in water, just don't do it IN the tank like we did. It was late, we were lazy, and common sense did not prevail.
