The answer to your question is 'wait', if you heavily plant a 29G with a oscar in it your plants will never stay rooted.

Once you've moved the oscar then do lots of research (whether you like it or not) because there is a lot to know about planted tanks, To get you on your way look into the general setup, for a healthy fully planted tank you will need CO2, a nutrient rich substrate and ferts. Head to the planted section and look through some old posts. Start with easy to care for plants, a good website for basic plant info is www.thegreenmachineaquatics.com, they have a great selection of plants and each has a basic description of there needs. Also, look at pictures from aquascaping competitions to get a idea of what you want. It's a lot of hard work, money, patience and research if you want to make a real go of it. If you really aren't a fan of learning like you said then this probably isn't for you, or maybe stick with fake plants because getting started can be very frustrating.
