Plasticy Thing On My New Plant?

[Nordk]

So, I've bought an Amazon Sword plant at my LFS for my Gourami tank, but it's roots are held inside a plastic welike-bucket thing. What do I do, do I remove it or leave it?

Remove it. More than likely, its sole purpose is to keep the roots neat and orderly to make it easier for you to plant them once you remove the plastic.

Thanks!

Sounds like it's potted. Remove that as well as the wool that is likely surrounding it.
