Really Stupid Question...humour Me Please..

What is the difference in buying bunched plants or plants in the basket?

How do I plant these? Under the substrate or just resting on top? I recently lost a lot of plants (new) even thought I added fertiliser but I planted the baskets under the gravel and wondering if this was wrong??

ok.so plants in bunches.remove any wadding & lead weights.
Plants in pots,remove the'rockwool' and seperate indivual stems/plants
most will need to be planted in the substrate.The exception being plants like Anubias & Java Fern,which are tied to wood.
This vid goes on a bit, but will give a general idea. My link

Very good video. I have picked up things here and there, but there is always something new to learn.

great video, not so easy with 30 inch deep of water though.

Still not easy when you've got everything where you want it already but buy good looking plants willy nilly anyway like I do That means I have to move all the carefully arranged Mopani wood and the rock caves and replant this here and that there... What a ball ache
