My First Live Plants

[coldcazzie]

Make sure you wash them really well, you dont want no PEST SNAILS!

Indeed! Although to be fair, I think my loaches would make quick work of any snails that came in!

Ok here's the pics.

There's only the ones on the top pic and the ones on the left on the middle pic that have roots, the rest seem to be cuttings - do I need to treat these differently?

I'd like to know mostly how tall/wide they grow so I can plan where they should go in the tank!

Thanks

The ones with roots, just trim them slighlty and then plant into the substrate, the ones that are cuttings just pop them straight into the subtrate.

Some plant gro above the waterline, like the Elodea densa, (fast-growing) just cut it and replant

you have some answers that are probably right, if you would like my input then resizing is best. My connection is extremely slow
