Introducing plants

[Country joe]

I'm currently working on my new tank, I'm planning on half filling it, as I first want to put in plants, would they survive without heating, or would the heating g have to be on? As later I'm planning on using Goop then adding fish, so was going to put the heating on later.

I would guess we have about the same climate, and I don't heat most of my tanks with the fish I choose to keep. The plants do just fine unheated.

It always depends on which plants you plan to use, but the ones commonly available around here do fine.

It would only be for a week or maybe two, then the heater would be on.

I left stems plants in a bucket over the winter in a carport and had no issues. So I guess room temperature will be fine.
