Removing Plants For New Ones.

[tez2k007]

Hi guys. Bought 6 plants when first started my tank and was not sure exactly what they were as was just starting out. Anyway still in process of cycling my tank and some of them just dont seem to be growing much and most of them have turned quite brown especially on the leaves. Im thinking of just scraping them and buying some new ones. Also when I planted them I planted them inside the pots with all that white stuff on the roots. When I get the new ones should i remove this. Tank has been running for a month currently.

Hello tez

Depends on the species.

Best to remove the pots and free up the roots trim any decaying roots back split the plant up if there is enough to be divided and replant.
Add root tablets under the plant roots.

Whats best way to wash them when I get them home. As many say this helps with avoiding snail eggs and stuff.
